‘Less stress’ soundscape
Chiller commute. Listen to a Less Stress soundscape in the car, on the bus, or on your walk to work. If you’re driving, set it up before you go (don’t use your phone while driving!) and play the soundscape through your car speakers if you can.
Morning ritual. Listen to a Less Stress soundscape when you first wake up in the morning. This could help you ease into your day instead of checking your inbox or the news first thing in the morning.
Make daily tasks more zen. Listen to a Less Stress soundscape while doing daily tasks like cooking or folding washing. Sometimes domestic duties can feel tedious or even stressful, especially if there are kids to look after at the same time! A chill soundscape could bring a little peace and relaxation to chores.
