Music has been a great distraction for me lately, and seems to be the quickest fix for altering a low mood at the moment. With this in mind, I’ve put together a little playlist of some of my favourite ‘calming songs’ that hopefully some of you might enjoy too. I find making playlists quite therapeutic and tend to make one every couple of weeks. I guess it’s the act of creating something new and then the reward element of being able to reap the benefits for a long time afterwards (whilst also sharing it with others)…
I’ve been trying to take some long walks with my headphones in (somewhere isolated), or I’ve been sitting by my window at lunch time with a cup of peppermint tea. These sorts of soothing rituals are more essential than ever right now, so try to allow yourself moments of calm throughout the day if you’re able to. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy – just some music and a few minutes to switch off from the world until your thoughts slow down again…
I’d love to hear what some of your favourite soothing tunes are in the comments below so that I can add them to the playlist…
Hope you’re all well & staying safe x

I have an alt-chill playlist that usually helps with the vibes… Castien Syvras is the name on Spotify. It helps when I want to get to my coding projects or if I am learning a new programming language or anything along those lines.
