Time to relax!

  • “The GIF is mesmerizing. It starts out as a flat line that turns into a triangle, which is then enveloped by a square. New shapes continue to build on the old ones, eventually turning into an octagon before it all collapses in on itself to start the routine over again. The idea is to breathe in as the shapes expand, then out as they fold down (or vice-versa), for about five seconds each.” –  This Calming GIF Can Help You Handle Stress
  • “Living in a neighborhood where you have lots of opportunity to gaze at blue spaces — bodies of water like the sea — is associated with lower levels of stress, researchers found.” – Blue spaces beat green spaces when it comes to mental health, study finds
  • “No, not all classical music is relaxing. Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, an excellent pianist, once explained that to Vogue magazine. Vogue congratulated her on her musical pursuits and said it must be relaxing. Rice’s wry reply: ‘Playing Beethoven and Brahms is not relaxing.’” – Classical music pieces that can soothe your soul
  • “If mornings are dominated by the commute and school-run and email—all the rough-and-tumble of modern life, especially in cities—they’re something to get through, rather than to celebrate. But mornings are also special. They come before everything else in the day, so what you do with them matters.” – To be more productive, try angling your morning toward what brings you joy
  • “We just came across one of the greatest videos we’ve ever seen – one that has successfully lulled our brains into a state of relaxation. It’s called ‘Memories of Paintings’ and it beautifully features dancing paint.” – This soothing video of dancing paint will help you fall asleep
  • “It might comfort you to know, though, that there are a lot of us currently enjoying a solo act. More than 25 percent of American homes today only have on person in it, a number that has tripled since 1970. And we’re having fun.” – 8 Surprisingly Calming Things To Do Alone

Time to relax!

  • “Pop on some headphones and soak in the sounds of the Force-rich planet’s flora and fauna. Jubba bird calls mix with the steady trickle of flowing water and croaking amphibians. Recede into the fog with the echoes of chirps and splashes. You can practically smell the smoke from the small fire inside Yoda’s hut.” – 94 Minutes on Dagobah Is Basically a Relaxation Tape for Star Wars Nerds
  • “If there’s one thing that can be said of buzzwords, it’s that they almost always fall by the wayside in the end. Yet in the field of mental health, one buzzword has survived the best efforts of critics and naysayers – ‘mindfulness.’” – Relax – there’s new evidence that mindfulness actually works
  • “Plunging over a mile deeper than the 29,029 feet high peak of Mount Everest, the trench is home to some of the weirdest creatures we’ve ever seen. Right nearby, on a ridge called the Enigma Seamount, is where researchers found this beautiful, spider-like jellyfish 2.3 miles below the surface.” – Watch This Soothing Deep Sea Jellyfish Swim
  • “Owen Harris and Niki Smit’s Deep VR experience requires some set-up, beyond just strapping on a virtual reality headset. Participants also wear a device around their diaphragm that tracks their breathing; this device serves as the “controller,” because only the use of deep breathing techniques will allow them to progress forward in Deep.” – Deep, a Meditative Virtual Reality Experience, Teaches Breathing Techniques & Relaxation
  • “No matter how digitally interconnected the world gets, cargo ships will always be necessary. The ocean will always separate the continents, so ships will always be needed to move physical goods, and the University of London’s Energy Institute has created a gorgeous visualization of their movements and carbon footprint.” – Soothing Visualization Shows How Many Thousands of Cargo Ships Travel the Sea
  • “Well, after a 17-year incubation period spent underground, cicada’s in 2016 are set to emerge and greet the world for the first time. And not wanting any cicada to feel out of the loop or likely to make some embarrassing social faux-pas at a party, Oliver took it upon himself to let these hibernating cicada’s know what life is like in the present day.” – John Oliver recaps 17 years of pop culture history in hilarious new video
