I have always wondered why I felt so refreshed and relaxed after fishing and swimming. Thanks for giving me language and understanding of what I experience.

So glad to hear it. Now you know the science behind those powerful emotions.

The water machine on your desk is great. I've also found the hum of the small desk top fan to be soothing. I close my eyes and just listen to it.

My desktop fountain has been key.

Now I know why I feel so at ease and restored by the ocean 🌊 or a river. This makes so much sense! Thank you for the evidence based neuroscience behind this. Sharing!

As a ceramist I work so much with water and everytime my hand dips in the bucket of water I feel a sensation that calms my thoughts 💛
