We all have our days where we aren't feeling quite like ourselves. We get into a slump and nothing can seem to cheer us up or help our mood. (This is by no means a suggestion that depression or anxiety do not exist, but I am writing generally). When we are sad and stuck in a rut, it seems that there isn't much out there that can help make us feel a little bit better. While it is very important to rest well, eat healthy and take time for ourselves, perhaps these five videos can prove useful for self-care. Watching cute animals helps me smile a little more, too. Here are five videos I always love to watch again and again when I'm down.

1. Cutest Sloth Video (Don't Worry, Be Happy)

How can you resist smiling when these happy little fellas come together for an adorable compilation of videos to a relaxing, cheerful song?

2. Doggy Paddle

Precious puppies learning to swim? Yes.

3. Bird Sings If You Are Happy and You Know It

This bird is learning and doing its best; how can that not make you feel warm and fuzzy?

4. Funny Dogs Can't Wait to Go for a Walk

Join their excitement!

5. Maru the Cat

This little kitty is too cute!

While it won't cure sadness, it can help to bring a smile to your face, which is sometimes what we need most.
