My tiny silver barn owl charm is hidden in this photo. While you hunt for him scan across in rows from the top- the plant patterns will alleviate stress, the ‘tetris’ like scanning of the items in the photo can help make new connections in your brain & when you find him there’ll be a ping of dopamine in your brain, lifting mood. It’s a small neuroscience-based visual puzzle I’ve made to help your brain 🌿🧠:
Autistic burnout* & depression burgle much of my mental energy at the moment, hence my absence around here, but it's the loveliest time for garden & hedgerow flowers-cowslips, forget me nots, apple blossom, the emergence of brimstone & orange tip butterflies & my favourite floral firework/my botanical girlfriend: cow parsley. I post my photos as a break from online angst for your brain so here are 3 doses of botanical dopamine-lovely seasonal sprigs for you to pause on & gaze at to help your synaptic soup 🌿

Seeing the fractal patterns of plants (even on a screen) shifts our brain activity from fight or flight to rest & digest due to ancient foraging pathways that are still very active in modern humans. When we look at something we feel is beautiful our brains release dopamine, lifting mood.
Here's your daily bunch of lovely twigs for your noggin. Pause here if you're feeling strung out - late June floral snapshot from the garden🌿🧠:
