Stress Awareness Week: Build a Stress-Buster Playlist!
Hello everyone,
As we celebrate Stress Awareness Week, I invite you to create the ultimate stress-busting playlist together.
We all have those go-to songs that act like a soothing balm for our minds and make us feel related, connected, and comforted. Share your favorite tunes that you turn to when stress hits. Share with us:
1. What song do you listen to when feeling stressed?
2. Why did you choose this particular song?
3. How does this song make you feel after listening to it?
Let's build a collection of Your Go-To Songs that can help us all find a moment of peace amidst the chaos. Your go-to track might just be someone else's new favorite stress reliever.
@ASilentObserver stress buster playlist idea is so cool because my choices vary lol, sometimes it is a peppy or quirky music, a song to just hum to, or a song to dance on, other times I prefer a more familiar voice so I listen to oldie songs or from artists that I've been listening to from a long time, sometimes it's also ambient sounds, rain sounds, Flute music etc!
How about you Obzieee?

i have too many individual songs 😂 but i do listen to a lot of playlists on YT that usually have some kind of theme. this one is "forest therapy" with various happy songs:
@ASilentObserver I also listen to a lot of ambient music I love the saxaphone , and pan flutes mixed with some gentle nature sounds 😁💖 but to put me in a better mood when I don't feel like smiling I listen to the Zac Brown band and their songs 'chicken fried' 'knee deep' 'toes' 'remedy ' they are uplifting happy country songs that take you to another place😁💖
I LOVE Jazz and I was at my calmest when I was at Jazz Fest back at the end of April beginning of May… I loved every second of it.
Honestly, when you hear it, you might not think it’s a stress buster but it’s not calming, it is more of one of those songs that helps me dance the stress away:
“That’s It!” - Preservation Hall Jazz Band
“Raise Your Glass” - P!NK
“Love You Till The End” - The Pogue
“Truth Hurts” - Lizzo
“Tuscaloosa” - Old Salt Union
Oooh I love this idea! 🌞 I have a whole playlist of songs that help when I'm in a sympathetic nervous system state. Some of the songs attune to how I feel if I'm stressed, to release some of it, but if I want something that makes me feel safe and calm, I love "King's Love Waltz" by Park Min Ji. I always feel peaceful and calm after listening to it. I think it is partly due to the song itself, and partly from the memories of a Korean Drama that it's in 🌞
