For me, I will listen to lofi music to calm and focus on things...what about you guys?

You don't have to tell your problems (conditions) if you don't want to, but I have anxiety, so I use music to calm myself down :)

    Hey @AliceL it's lovely to have you join the boards! <3

    Just hopping in to say I've moved your post to the Health & Wellbeing forum so others can chip in with their thoughts & advice. :)

    Also I agree lofi music can be so calming - I often put it on whilst studying! For me, I also love taking a nature break to ground myself.

    I love lofi music especially to relax in the evenings, I've gotten really into a playlist on Spotify which plays all Studio Ghibli film songs but lofi :)

    Aside from that I love lighting a candle and having a cuppa, sometimes I do mindfulness if I'm in the right headspace too!

    Hey @AliceL I also tend to listen to music and I find it helps me. I also watch a lot of Youtube videos too mostly ones of cake or cooking as I find watching someone cook can be therapuetic to me. I also knit and crochet too!.

    Hi @AliceL I also use music to calm down, in the evenings for sleep I sometimes use ASMR videos. In the day I might also use fidgets or speak to people about what's bothering me

    Great discussion idea @AliceL! Music and going for walks are a great way for me to calm myself down. Music helps to feel emotions, and walks helps to give some much-needed headspace :)

    @AliceL, welcome to the community! :smile:<3

    This is such a lovely thread idea! Music also calms me down - I quite like listening to soft piano sounds, and music from games (I love listening to Apotos Day and Spagonia Night from the Sonic Unleashed game ahah)! I also like to journal a lot, just writing down how I'm feeling takes the weight of my chest and helps me calm down :3

    another one for team music :3 - also reading a good back helps me relax and just escape to a different world for a bit.
