Self-Care Activity - Soothing Sounds Playlist

Let’s create a playlist that’s made just for those moments. Those moments when you feel overwhelmed, or like everything is caving in. You can include songs, ambient sounds, ASMR, or anything really that helps you feel calm and steady.

Some ideas (you can just use songs, or you might have other ideas of sounds that help you calm) – Rain falling softly on leaves – Instrumental piano – Ocean waves or river sounds – A song that always makes you feel safe – White noise, pink noise, or crackling fireplace sounds – Soft spoken word or nature ambience

Create this in your favourite app! Or you can just jot the list down of sounds/songs you want to listen to when you're not calm and save it in a note on your phone to help you remember.

If you're up to it, tell us what sound(s) you used, or the name of a song you put on it!

for those of us who love puzzles and find them relaxing, i’ve been doing a ton at jigsawplanet

you can make an account, change the number of pieces, search for puzzles by topic

it’s fun! definitely a calming activity for me, because things just... fit

i’ve been putting together some of my own puzzles, too. i’m working on a series of book covers from some of my favourite books! if you’re interested, you can find them here
