'Their love and the joy they bring me has helped soothe me.'
, and that helps get me out of the house and moving my body. I have found that going outside for some fresh air and some light movement really helps dissolve my anxiety, and I am grateful that my dogs provide motivation to do it even when I don't feel like it. Both of my dogs get antsy if they're cooped up for too long, and will remind us that playing in the backyard is no substitute for a good, long walk around the neighborhood.
And even though my dogs aren't trained support dogs, they provide a lot of emotional support — Hank in particular. Hank is almost always glued to me, and he absolutely loves to snuggle and be petted. Recently, I was finishing up a work task that felt overwhelming. As if by a sixth sense, Hank knew I was feeling stressed and he came over and wedged his head under my laptop until I was forced to stop and give his soft ears a pet.
. Their simple joy helps me feel hopeful and their unconditional love grounds me; even just taking a moment to pet them can bring me back to the present.. Now, I love it even more, because I get to be home with my dogs all the time. Their love and the joy they bring me has helped soothe me, and given me a reason to get out of the house and take care of something beyond myself especially when my anxiety is threatening to overtake me.
