Feeling Stressed? You'll Feel Better After You Listen To These 10 Songs

1. Put Your Records On - Corinne Bailey Rae

"Put Your Records On" always gets me out of my weirdest, most stressful funks. I listen to it in the bath or shower, on my way to class, and before a test. Because it reminds me to be myself but also be the best I can be at the same time.


2. XO - Beyonce

"XO" by Beyonce always calms me down because of its relaxed and soulful nature. Beyonce is a Queen at bringing those low alto and tenor notes, and making any song more relaxing.


3. Banana Pancakes - Jack Johnson

"Banana Pancakes" is the type of song you listen to when you need to feel like a kid again, after a long stressful week of adulting. It is soothing, slow and relaxing, and makes you think about pancakes. What could be better than that?

4. Send Me On My Way - Rusted Root

If you are looking to get up and get active after a stressful day, this song is for you. "Send Me On My Way" is inspiring, feel-good, and a happy song overall. It is upbeat and sort of hippie-ish which is always a plus.

5. She Will Be Loved (demo) - Maroon 5

Another great song is Maroon 5's demo version of "She Will Be Loved." It is one of the most relaxing songs that I listen to on a bad day.

6. Sunday Morning - Maroon 5

"Sunday Morning" is quite basically my early Sunday morning jam song. When you get the Sunday scaries and start stressing about everything that is due on Monday, turn up the music, and let this soulful song by Maroon 5 calm you down.

7. Count On Me - Bruno Mars

"Count On Me" by Bruno Mars reminds me even when I'm having the worst day that there are always people I can count on to cheer me up and lean on. And that friendships and families are what get you through the toughest times.


8. Never Gonna Leave This Bed - Maroon 5

This oldie but goodie by Maroon 5 is the perfect feel-good, upbeat song to get you out of those end-of-the-semester blues. This can be a very stressful time of year, and sometimes you just have to be content with never leaving your bed.

9. Psycho - Post Malone

The lyrics to "Psycho" are not the most relaxing, but more the music in the song and his deep, soothing, relaxed voice. Post Malone has real talent, and it shows in his song, "Psycho".

10. This Is The Life - Two Door Cinema Club

Famous for its popularity after being featured in the movie Soul Surfer, this song resembles summer time and surfing in the ocean. It is the perfect song to escape to and listen to over and over again to calm down and visualize yourself on a beach.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
