Why TikTok's "Mouse Moment" Trend is Great For Meditation

Why TikTok's "Mouse Moment" Trend Might Be the New Meditation Method We Need

A "mouse moment" sounds like a bunch of videos of...well, mice being mice. In reality, the original mouse moment was defined as a “sad or introspective moment when you are forced to eat alone." Yes, this may sound sad to some, but it's taken on many different meanings since it began, and some people now even see it as a form of meditation and a moment of peace. Below are a few very relatable mouse moments you've likely had at some point in your life and didn't even know it.
