Living in this modern world when we're built to deal with tigers can cause lots of stress and anxiety.
Stress used to be beneficial (oh fuck a tiger... run), but nowadays we deal with the tigers in our minds. Finances, Work, Finding Purpose and Meaning, Being Bombarded with Stimulus, Psychedelic Fascism as Stanley Kubrick called it.
I want to share this comic by Stuart Mcmillen. It's perfect.
Great comic no?
I think time spent in nature is a healthy antidote but maybe it isn't easily accessible to some. A more inclusive solution would be deep breathing.
Take a couple minutes out of your day and simply enjoy and be fully aware of your breaths, count them, smile, feel the life oxygen provides you, exhale your stress and breath in tranquility.
We live in crazy times, where everything can seem so bleak at times but we have our minds. So be aware of Supernormal Stimuli, give yourself a break and breath.
