Time to relax!

• “…this song is super inspiring, people! These lyrics show more of Moana’s confidence in her journey, and it’s pretty mind blowing to think of a young teenager diving head-first, sometimes literally, into uncharted territory (or waters, as the case may be).” – 11 Heartbreakingly Beautiful ‘Moana’ Lyrics To Soothe Your Soul
• “Most people can’t just walk away from their desks to go to the beach, for example, even if that activity would lower their anxiety. And if you prioritize the wrong types of stress reducers at work too often – ones that affect your ability to be present in the office and prioritize your workload – you may soon find that your job is in jeopardy.” – How to De-Stress at Work Without Losing Your Job
• “With the goal of lowering a listener’s blood pressure, stress levels and heart rate, the song utilizes a peaceful production landscape filled with dreamy rhythms, melodies and complimentary instruments (featuring piano, guitar and electronic samples of natural soundscapes). Like the soothing sounds of a waterfall in nature, one can follow the movement and layers as they effortlessly induce a dreamlike state. In fact, the song is considered so effective that it’s dangerous to listen to while driving!” – The World’s Most Relaxing Song
• “We relent, and react. We give up control in micro doses, one teeny, seemingly harmless morsel at a time, feeding ourselves to the voracious demands and appetites of pace without purpose until we wake up years later—if we wake up—only to discover we are suffering deeply. Breathlessly busy without a pause, without a cause.” – The Unbusy Manifesto: How to slow down, chill out, and live life more intentionally
• “Our mobile devices are always by our side and often get blamed for adding stress to our everyday living, but with the right apps in tow, our phones can actually help us rediscover some inner-peace and tranquility.” – How to Use Your Smartphone to Chill Out
