If you are wondering what is the easiest way to get rid of stress, how to improve the quality of your life, and to attract positive energy, I will suggest you get a pet. I particularly recommend dogs because I live with several of them. But, of course, you can choose the pet that suits you best.
Today's lifestyle, rush, fatigue, and constant stress lead us to frustration, unfulfillment, and very often, to depression. You probably noticed that people who live with a dog are happier, more joyful, healthier, more mobile, and more communicative...
LOVE
LOVE is in the first place, because it heals everything, and no one can show us that better than small children and dogs.
Due to a lack of free time and too many obligations, we don't get to be with those we love, who love us, and in places where we feel comfortable. All these small pleasures make life better and happier.
The dog will remind us of the most important feeling that we unconsciously neglect every day and will show us what unconditional love looks like, from minute to minute, and therefore we won't be able to remain immune to those pure and sincere feelings. While they cheerfully run around us, while they rejoice that we are together, while they selflessly give us love, they wake up so many wonderful feelings in us that in those moments we do not think about problems, obligations, fears, dissatisfactions...
When we feel love, we are happier, and the happier we are, we attract more and more positive energy into our life and good things start happening to us.
FORGIVENESS
Dogs will be our best teachers when it comes to FORGIVENESS, too.
We cannot be happy if we constantly think about how someone hurt us, saddened us, angered us, disappointed us, deceived us... Dogs solve such situations most simply. They react momentarily, to protect themselves, but as soon as the unpleasant situation passes, they stop thinking about it and continue to live normally.
We all get angry sometimes and scold our pets because they made or did something that they shouldn't, but we never felt hate, malice, vindictiveness...
They won't stop loving us because of a scolding or some bad word we used, they will not think of ways to harm us, either. Instead, in a short time, they will continue with their life as usual and behave as if nothing had happened. They will instinctively avoid doing everything that bothers us and will do their best to live in harmony.

HOW TO BE HAPPY
Dogs can sense our energy. They know when we are in a bad mood, sad, scared... and no one can lift our spirits and make us laugh faster than them.
I won't list all the things they can do to make us feel better, because that would take too long. It's enough just for them to start waving their tails and it will make us smile. Even looking at them while they are sleeping will put a smile on our faces.
While we are in the company of dogs, we feel a great amount of love, we laugh more, our mood is better, therefore there is no place for negative energy.

,,DANCE THROUGH LIFE, MAKE MISTAKES, SWEETLY SMILE, BECAUSE, IN THE END, EVERYTHING WORKS OUT
SOCIALIZATION
Very few of us have enough time for socializing, and that is more than necessary. Therefore we often feel lonely and isolated, but there is no reason to worry if the dog is by our side.
This time, too, we will have great help and support from a four-legged member of the family. They don't judge or criticize us, so they are an excellent alternative if you aren't able to talk to a close person. With a faithful friend who follows us closely, we will forget what loneliness is.
Another good example that helps with socialization is contact with other people who also have dogs. While we are walking with our pets, they will meet more dogs, and since dogs approach each other more easily, we will also have the opportunity to start a conversation with other owners. Over time we may build a friendship or even a love relationship. Who knows, maybe "101 Dalmatians" is not just a movie. ;)

HEALTHY LIFE WITH A DOG
Scientific studies prove that dogs are very important for our health, both mental and physical. They cure us from various states of depression, relieve us from stress, and with them, we are also more physically active because daily walks have a positive effect on our whole body.
Dogs also help to strengthen immunity. Small children who live with a dog are healthier and less likely to suffer from some form of allergy...
They are excellent therapy for people with mental problems, and some dogs are very useful for the blind and visually impaired.
Do stretching exercises as soon as you wake up and your body will thank you. If you don't know how just watch what your dog does as soon as it wakes up and start imitating it. :)

LIFE IN THE PRESENT MOMENT
Most of the time we think about the past, about something that happened before, or about what will happen, and we don't realize how much it would benefit us to let go of those thoughts that unnecessarily burden our brain and heart and start living in the present moment. With a pet, at least for part of the day, we will distance ourselves from those harmful and unnecessary thoughts.
We are the center of the world for our dogs. They will always show us, in their own, way how much they love us and how much they want to be near us. They know so well how to draw attention to themselves and make us take some time just for them, that is, to forget about everything else and enjoy the present. With this "exercise" we will very quickly start to feel better and more relaxed. In time we will learn that happiness is in the little things.
In order not to destroy the present, let's make reconciliation with the past and not think about the future.
ENERGY EXCHANGE
We all radiate positive or negative energy, and we have all experienced being in a company that pleases us or in a company that we would rather run away from after the first minute, even though no one did or said anything to us. Just observe how dogs defend themselves from negative situations and people, and start applying the same method.
They sense energy much better than us and will show, without hesitation, what or who pleases them and who doesn't. They will start barking at a person who feels fear, regardless of whether they know them. Dogs will also react if a nervous or angry person comes into their territory, but as soon as they move away from the negative situation or person, they stop thinking about it and don't allow it to ruin the rest of their day, month... In this way, they don't allow negation to pass to them. They will do the opposite when they come across a person who spreads positive energy. They will start waving their tails, jumping, calling for play, and will try to be with them as long as possible. Dogs do all this because they enjoy receiving and providing positive energy.
YOU ATTRACT WHAT YOU RADIATE
Even dogs sometimes get scared. In those moments, we need to show them that we are there for them, that we will protect them, and that they have no reason to be afraid. If we are calm, our dog will soon calm down too. But, if, at that moment, we also get scared and start screaming, running away, and panicking, we will only make things worse. We will start exchanging negative energy and we won't feel good. In that panic and fear, we will not be able to find a way out of that situation.
DOGS MAKE OUR LIVES MORE BEAUTIFUL
It is important to take the first step towards a better life quality, and I am sure that there is no better positive element for your home than having a small, or even big, but for sure cute animal running around spreading positive vibes and making your family happy.
As you can conclude, even though we consider dogs to be an inferior species, we can learn a lot from them.
