Calming Images For When The World Is Just Too Much To Handle

If you're anything like me, then you frequently get overwhelmed when watching the news or scrolling through social media, especially when tragic news stories are trending. As an introvert, an empath and someone who feels everything very deeply, I often feel like I need a break from the world and the hate that exists in it. Whenever I get overwhelmed and wish I had a way to escape, I often pick up my favorite book or video game. That's not always an option for everyone, though. Sometimes, this feeling of being overwhelmed can hit us while at work, school or somewhere we're unable to just get up and drop everything to make ourselves feel better. For times like these, we need something calming that we can quickly access and instantly feel at peace again. These beautiful and soothing images may not be a permanent escape, but they will make you feel better!

1.

Even though it's just falling glitter, it really makes me feel like I've escaped to outer space.

2.

I think everyone could use some chill beach vibes right now.

3.

As a book lover, this image really helps me feel like I'm escaping to an entirely different world. I'd love to just jump right into this fairy tale-esque image!

4.

Come on, don't we all have dreams of moving off the grid?

5.

This display really gives the scenery an unreal appearance. That just makes me want to jump in even more!

6.

This image is absolutely breathtaking, and I can't help but feel happy and relaxed every time I see it.

7.

This looks like the perfect spot to relax and maybe even go for a swim!

8.

They're not for everyone, but storms always help me feel relaxed and at peace with the world.

9.

A rainy day, candles, and a good book... What else could I ever need to relax?

10.

This looks like such a perfect travel destination! I wish I could be there right now!

11.

This almost looks too good to be true.

12.

This is such a well-done photograph! The mirroring really makes it seem so unreal, and I'd really love to be there right now!

13.

This image really appeals to my inner child. I mean, haven't we all wanted to have our own castles and be princes and princesses since we were little?

These images and photos can help with any stress that you may be going through. The world may seem like it's a mess right now, but these really capture the essence of another world. They almost seem unreal! We may not be able to permanently escape reality, but we can find ways to cope with it. We also may not be able to bring peace to the world, but we can bring peace to ourselves, even if only for a brief moment. Enjoy these images and use them to help yourself cope with whatever may be causing you stress.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
