Studies for a self-portrait I want to attempt with subdued color palette and an averted gaze but I can’t choose which one to try. It would be my first attempt in years!

The look you get as a gay man when you hear the lyrics to Santa Baby where she tells Santa to “hurry down the chimney the chimney tonight...” and you think to yourself, “oh he do girl, he do!” #santababy #christmas #christmasdecor #gay #gayman #gaystagram #instagay #scruff #scruffygay https://www.instagram.com/p/CIXCKr1HbKq/?igshid=pobqyljr4bbm

When you are disappointed with the world around you do something to make you proud of yourself. Only creation can counter destruction. Let your passion save you from despair. #art #linocut #inktober2020 #artistsoninstagram #artoftheday #gaystagram #waves https://www.instagram.com/p/CHLZNGrnZXL/?igshid=cljtmfn0re7u

There’s a song that’s been proven to reduce anxiety by 65%. It’s called Weightless by Macaroni Union, and it was specifically designed to slow your heart rate, reduce blood pressure, and lower cortisol levels. It’s so effective that it’s dangerous to drive while listening to it because it can make you drowsy. Source Source 2 Source 3

I knew within seconds that I’d heard this before.

It was one of the first Tumblr posts I favorited.

Sound therapists and Manchester band Marconi Union compiled the song. Scientists played it to 40 women and found it to be more effective at helping them relax than songs by Enya, Mozart and Coldplay. Weightless works by using specific rhythms, tones, frequencies and intervals to relax the listener. A continuous rhythm of 60 BPM causes the brainwaves and heart rate to synchronise with the rhythm: a process known as ‘entrainment’. Low underlying bass tones relax the listener and a low whooshing sound with a trance-like quality takes the listener into an even deeper state of calm. Dr David Lewis, one of the UK’s leading stress specialists said: “‘Weightless’ induced the greatest relaxation – higher than any of the other music tested. Brain imaging studies have shown that music works at a very deep level within the brain, stimulating not only those regions responsible for processing sound but also ones associated with emotions.” The study - commissioned by bubble bath and shower gel firm Radox Spa - found the song was even more relaxing than a massage, walk or cup of tea. So relaxing is the tune, apparently, that people are being Rex advised against listening to it while driving. The top 10 most relaxing tunes were: 1. Marconi Union - Weightless 2. Airstream - Electra 3. DJ Shah - Mellomaniac (Chill Out Mix) 4. Enya - Watermark 5. Coldplay - Strawberry Swing 6. Barcelona - Please Don’t Go 7. All Saints - Pure Shores 8. AdelevSomeone Like You 9. Mozart - Canzonetta Sull’aria 10. Cafe Del Mar - We Can Fly

One of the comments suggests pairing it with Rainymood.

The combined calm might be weaponized with adding this song and some crackling fire.

When I was literally unable to sleep at all, my senior at work gave me this song to listen to!

[the-dm-diet-steve-blog]

My wife uses this song when she’s having near-meltdown levels of anxiety right before bed and it helps her relax and shed some of that stress enough for her to attempt to lie down and sleep.

@yang-belladonna figured this might help, somehow.

[wetwareproblem]

Can also recommend “Purrfect” by Funky Porcini for this.

There is also a 10 hour version on Youtube.
