Every living being deserves joy. But sometimes we need a little reminder to go find some of our own. So, consider this your little reminder to take a step back from your tireless advocacy on behalf of animals in need, and refocus that compassion and care on you. Below are a few fun options to get you started.

Guided meditation with farm animals

Looking for some guided practice to support your nervous system? Take a few minutes to breathe and reset with the animals who inspire us to keep going every day. A little fresh air, sunshine, and time with friends is the only recipe you need for a perfectly joyful summer.

Feathered-friends coloring pages

Feeling creative? Need to quiet your mind? If you’re interested in something a little more hands-on and have a printer nearby, give these chicken-inspired coloring pages a whirl. Grab your colored pencils, markers, crayons or whatever you have nearby and add some color and calm to your day.

Ridiculously cute farm animal videos

If you’ve got just one minute to spare and need something to make you smile, we’ve got the perfect video selection for you. From a piglet taste-testing fruit to a foster chicken experiencing the bliss of neck scratches, one of these beautiful moments is guaranteed to soothe your soul. (Volume up!)

Who doesn’t love a piglet named Auggie noshing on some summertime fruit? More watermelon, please!

Take a moment to discover complete bliss as a foster chicken enjoys a neck rub. If chickens could purr, we think this sweet guy definitely would!

And if you’ve still got more time, revisit these heartwarming videos featuring farm animals like rescued piglet Cashew!

You are essential to this movement. Take care of yourself this summer, and remember that you deserve compassion and care—just like the animals you're fighting for.
