Anyone else find that children's cartoons calm them down?

I’ve been watching Sara and Duck on netflix. It’s a British cartoon about a little girl named Sara who lives with her pet duck. I find the drawing style and simple plots very calming. Can anyone relate to this?

I love children cartoons and anime, it’s a nice and relaxing experiences to just watch after a hard day.

I like inspirational children’s literature. My favorite author is George MacDonald. I felt safe with such stuff.

I like to pet hello kitty when I’m stressed out.
I have recently discovered Pusheen and may get a little friend for kitty.

My hubbie doesn’t like any pets. Cat or dog.

I used to read classic children’s books when I was really stressed or having panick attacks. I found them soothing for some reason. Specifically, the Winnie the Pooh and House on Pooh Corner books, Paddington Bear, and Alice in Wonderland.

I still have those books but haven’t dusted them off in a long time. Hmmm, I guess that must mean I haven’t been too stressed or panicky in a good long while.

Long ago when I was stressed I couldn’t even read. And there wasn’t even Internet to watch cute cat videos.
So I had a picture book of cats and one of horses I would look at.
Tv would freak me out too much.

I miss watching Arthur before school. Set the mood for a good day.

Then you find everyone is not at all free-spirited, friendly, high-minded, intelligible and quite vulgar, mean, selectively nice, and obsessed with macho-man or “cool” personalities. . .

Yes to kids cartoons and I am also with @5713 about infomercials soothing me.

I have two big picture books, one on castles the other on knights. I’m not doing well if I drag them out to stare at.
