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.
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.
Time for Childhood for you 90s/Early 2000s kids
Born in 1999 and remember all of this. Particularly the dangerous scooters.
My childhood
Damn it I’m old. Wtf do kids use now?
tbh i can’t even enjoy the rest of this post because the first pic of the timed test still gives me heinous anxiety
I mean, I told y’all about the time I got so nervous doing one of these bad boys in first grade that I fell out of my desk and it fell on top of me and nearly cracked my skull open and then I wept not out of pain but out of terror that I’d fail because they took me to the nurse instead of letting me finish the test? I mean, granted, there was blood everywhere, I had a concussion, my face was swelling by the second, and it was the right decision for me and my screaming classmates to get me out of the room and into medical care. But my anxiety-ridden 7 year old self was convinced that I’d never get into college if I failed that math test.
That was me. These things still stress me out.
Joji is getting pretty used to bein kicked off the mic by now

This is the most adorable and perfect thing I’ve ever seen in my whole life.
humans are so cute, when we say goodbye we put our arms around each other and to show we love someone we bring them flowers. we suck the cum out of peoples dicks like a gogurt. we say hello by holding each other’s hand, and sometimes tiny little dewdrops form in our eyes. for pleasure we listen to arrangements of sounds, press our lips together, smoke dried leaves, get drunk off of old fruit. we’re all just little animals, falling in love and having breakfast beneath billions of stars
we suck the what out of what like what now
Love is when
Love is when you take the risk just to be with someone you love. Love is when you doubtful but still you have trust. Love is when you are in your weakest point but she/he give you strength to fight with. Love is when you in tears in the middle of your misunderstanding but still you have courage to forgive him/her. Love is when you did everything with no excuses, no expectation in return, just a plain simple reason. Love is when you are in apart but it feels you’re near together. Love is when you argue and reach the point of breaking up but still find the very first reason why you are together for so many years. Love is when she/he give up but still you prove that there is no greater than your love. Love is when you have your flaws but still tells you compliments. Love is when you in pain and gives you comfort. Love is when he/she tells you he/she will keep you for the rest of her/his heart. Love is when he ask you “will you marry me” Love is when you say I do. Love is when you stay in love together no matter how rough the road. Love is when you stay together no matter what.
This is still exactly how I feel
Time of the season

hey….
nothing you ever read, watch, or participate in will be ideologically pure and without its problems. your quest to consume the most unproblematic material will be, in the end, fruitless. your enjoyment of anything will be sapped away, leaving you a husk starved for media.
it is okay to enjoy things that have problems to them, so long as you do it critically and with an open mind, and take care to consider others.
*leaves the way i came*
I’ve been staring at this for 5 minutes
That’s what it looks like. That’s really what it looks like
Being out in the ocean is actually so scary because when you look really far out you can kind of see how the Earth is rounded out. It looks like a few miles ahead you’re just gonna fall off or something. Also fun trick: if ur on mobile, double tap zoom in and slide the picture side to side. It looks like you’re actually there looking left to right
DO THAT DO IT RIGHT NOW
I stopped explaining myself when I realized,
People only understand from their level of perception
play marco polo except use “wake me up” instead of marco and “WAKE ME UP INSIDE” instead of polo
When you get caught you have to yell “SAVE ME”
