Whether it’s cats, puppies, koalas, babies, penguins or pandas – seems none of us can resist the power of a daily dose of cute.
It’s common knowledge that cute images and videos are hugely popular on the internet.
There is no such thing as too much cute 🙂 . We just can’t seem to get enough!
But in the words of Professor Julius Sumner Miller: Why is it so?!
Personally, I’ve been a firm believer in the power of a daily dose of a cute for a long time. (At least that’s my excuse – and I’m sticking to it! – for sharing a million and one pics of Miss Fleur here and on social media 😉 .)
I know that looking at anything cute helps me to not only smile, feel happier and more positive, but it also helps to keep any feelings of depression at bay. It’s a great stress-buster!
The Evidence on the Power of Cute
It’s a great theory, and as it turns out I’m right (hubster will be rolling his eyes!) – as now there is evidence that a daily dose of cute, really is good for us, in so many ways!
Viewing cute images, watching cute videos, playing with cute babies (human or animal) – according to one study, a daily dose of cute not only improves our mood and helps to lift depression, but it also increases productivity. Apparently, it even boosts our ability to pay attention to detail, resulting in greater focus and accuracy!
So next time you get sprung watching a cute cat video at work, just tell your boss that you are simply harnessing the power of a daily dose of cute – and your work will only benefit from it!
Still not convinced? Here’s a really cute kitty video, guaranteed to not only lower your stress levels, but also make you smile …
