But if you’re looking for some much needed respite from the stress of the world, we’ve got the perfect list down below, pandas. We’ve visited two online communities that are dedicated to sharing satisfying images. So enjoy scrolling through this list that is like ASMR for your eyes, and be sure to upvote the pics that make you feel warm and fuzzy inside!

We all know it’s wise to learn how to appreciate the little things in life. Waking up to a beautiful sunrise on a crisp autumn morning and sharing a cup of coffee with a loved one while spilling about everything that’s going on in our lives. The first ripe tomato that appears in your garden at the beginning of summer and the smell of homemade chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven.

But if you’ve learned to appreciate small things, you can also learn to appreciate the beauty of satisfying images from the internet. These two subreddits, r/Satisfyingas[heck] and r/satisfying are dedicated to sharing images and videos that simply make viewers feel good. The groups have amassed 1.5 million and 329k members respectively, and they’re wonderful safe havens from the chaos of the rest of the internet.

If you’re wondering why it’s so important for us to take time out of our days to scroll through some feel-good photos, one key reason is because as a people, we are entirely too stressed. According to the Mental Health Foundation, 74% of people living in the UK say they have been so stressed in the last year that they have been overwhelmed or unable to cope.

ADVERTISEMENT

Sadly, not even a third of older people can say that they never feel overwhelmed, while only 7% of young adults can say the same. And unsurprisingly, stress impacts our behavior in a variety of ways. 46% of people admit that they have eaten too much or eaten an unhealthy diet due to stress, and nearly a third say they’ve started drinking or increased their alcohol intake due to stress.

The psychological impacts of being stressed out are something to be taken seriously as well. Over half of adults who felt stressed reported that they also felt depressed, and 61% noted that they felt anxious as well. Nearly a third of stressed individuals have even had suicidal thoughts, and over a third of stressed out adults report feeling lonely due to being overwhelmed. It’s extremely important that we prioritize stress management and taking care of our mental health in any way we can. If that means taking 10 minutes to scroll through wholesome and satisfying images, by all means, please do so! I’m sure your doctor would agree that you’re taking a wise step.

While we can’t all be relaxed yoga gurus who drink tea and meditate all day long, there is something we can learn from zen individuals. According to Psych Central, there are plenty of benefits we can experience from learning how to manage our stress. First of all, keeping your stress levels in check can reduce your blood pressure. Stress has been linked with changes in blood pressure, which can lead to hypertension and increase a person’s risk of having a stroke or developing heart disease. Because of this, keeping yourself more relaxed might literally extend your lifetime.

There’s no question that being stressed can also do a number on our mental health. One 2020 study found that uncertainty stress among college students was linked to high levels of mental health conditions, including depression and anxiety. It can be extremely difficult to manage stress, especially as a student, but learning how to do so can help with your mood and make completing assignments and everyday tasks much easier.

What would you do for a good night’s sleep? Unfortunately, the Sleep Foundation reports that more than one third of adults in the United States aren’t getting enough sleep. Experts say we need a minimum of 7 hours of snoozing time each night, yet unsurprisingly, stress, pain, noise, heartburn, trips to the bathroom, night sweats, PMS and more can keep us from getting our beauty sleep. Psych Central reports that stress can make not only falling asleep, but also staying asleep, more challenging, which can quickly lead to a dangerous cycle. Start taking your bedtime routine seriously by managing your stress levels.

If you’re wondering how in the world we’re supposed to decrease our stress when there are wars happening, the cost of living seems to be increasing by the day and the climate is in crisis, you’re not alone. But the CDC recommends a few key ways we can begin to feel more relaxed. First of all, take care of your body. Drink enough water, fuel yourself with healthy meals, limit your caffeine and alcohol intake, see your doctor regularly and ensure you get some physical activity in every day.

When managing stress, don’t underestimate how helpful the little things can be. A ten minute walk around your neighborhood to get some fresh air, stretch your legs and say hi to a few neighbors can be a great pick-me-up. Call a loved one on the phone and check in with them. Watch a hilarious YouTube video that will have you laughing, and listen to music that you love. And of course, find some satisfying pics online to scroll through!

Ouroboros is a snake eating its own tail. It is a symbol of infinity. The first known reference was found in King Tut's tomb.

I find this most unsatisfying. Sure the dishes are are now clean. It's time to put them all away and achieve a much more satisfying clean counter.
