55 Songs Perfect For Relieving Your Stress

Stocksnap

We all go through those times in life where we can feel super stressed out and overwhelmed with or without a reason. Unfortunately, I have come to the conclusion that I am an overthinker. I could overthink about anything and everything. Whatever it may be, I automatically get stressed out about that topic.

The #1 thing I always turn to? Music. At home, in the car, anywhere - it saves me. It makes me feel calm, puts me in a better mood, and I feel okay again. Or normal, I guess you could say. Those weights that were on my shoulders? Gone, within the first few beats of a song. If I'm not overthinking, I'm probably listening to music - it's one or the other with me.

All of these songs are from my Spotify (@ Jordan Battey), so these are songs that I've been listening to for years, and ones that may have come out not too long ago.

On one of the main playlists I am suggesting, a majority of these songs includes all different instrumental and non-instrumental. And all of the songs go at different paces. I also picked a few songs from my other playlists.

I went through my main relaxing playlist, and I selected a certain amount of songs. A certain amount of songs that without a doubt, will help each and every one of you relieve your stress.

Even if you may not listen to these genres/artists, I am confident that these songs will help you, and you never know until you give it a listen.

Keep on reading and listen to the songs if you want to stay calm, cool, and collected.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
