Time to relax!

  • “When I told my husband about it, he grimaced. ‘Why would you want to read about that?’ he asked, before going back to his Rockets game. It was hard to explain why exploring the torture chamber of Jude’s past was exactly what I wanted to do after a long day at work.” – When a Tale of Torture Is Oddly Relaxing [CW: violence]
  • “For me, veggie prep is a comforting way to ease into cooking a meal, when the kitchen is calm and competing pots are not yet being stirred. Produce from the garden has been brought in, washed and laid out on the counter. That’s the moment I reflect on each vegetable and decide how to treat it, depending on the condition it’s in, the variety I’ve grown and the use to which it will be put.” – Vegetable preparation is relaxing, no matter how you slice it
  • “This time-lapse of someone building a chair leg is satisfying and comforting for reasons we can’t quite explain. Watching the wood slowly shaved away to reveal a graceful form is a lovely way to spend a few moments today. The chair leg was made by the furniture makers Koja Designs, who have a few other similarly great YouTube videos.” – Watch A Deeply Relaxing Time-Lapse of Someone Making a Wooden Chair Leg
  • “Making a cup of tea for someone can be a way of saying, ‘I care about you. Have this hot bland liquid that I made for you just the way you like it.’ If you’ve had an argument with a roommate, offer to make them a cup of tea — if they accept, everything is okay now. This is also a great way to apologize without directly addressing the issue, which is the most British thing you could be doing anyway.” – What Americans can learn from the soothing British ritual of tea time
  • “The hydrophones are encased in titanium to withstand the deep sea pressure. They are then attached to a remote-controlled vehicle that travels out to eruptions that are otherwise unreachable by man. And, if that wasn’t cool enough, just wait until you hear the sounds that they’ve discovered. From the deep bass rumbles of underwater volcanoes, to the eerie, harmonic scrapes of icebergs on tectonic plate, the sounds seem to fit our ideas of cosmic ambience more than nautical noise.” – Listen to the strangely soothing sounds of underwater volcanos

Time to relax!

  • “Yes, sharing that moment through your lens is great, but if you don’t enjoy it you can’t expect others to. Sometimes we forget to put ourselves first.” – Should Photography Be Relaxing?
  • “Wells placed a camera underwater at the bottom of a bucket and filmed the animals as they came to take a sip. The video, posted on Friday, stars a variety of furry and feathery critters, including a rabbit named George with a notch in his ear. In case you’re concerned, Wells rescued the floating bees seen at the beginning.” – Relaxing underwater video shows cute animals drinking
  • “It may not accomplish much, but nothing is as satisfying as a good wallow on your couch. If you actually want to feel better, though, remembering happy memories are a better coping mechanism than venting about everything wrong with your life.” – Happy Memories Really Are Relaxing According To Study, So Staying Positive Is Backed By Science
  • “It’s maybe hard to imagine now, but there was once a time when New York was a tranquil place, an island of lush greenery and singing birds and majestic mountain lions sipping out of clear freshwater ponds. That foreign-sounding land was known as Mannahatta—Lenape for ‘the island of many hills’—where the equivalent of noisy garbage men was the croaking bullfrog, which seems much preferable but really did drive some people crazy.” – Experience The Soothing Sounds Of 17th-Century Manhattan
  • “If you’re really looking to geek out over the benefits of meditation, researchers are currently exploring how meditation practices can change your brain’s gray and white matter (the part of your brain that’s in charge of all muscle control, sight, hearing, memory, emotions, speech, decision making, and self-control).” – 10 Meditation Tips from the Soothing Voice Behind the Headspace App
