With covid and the presidential election dominating the news, it can be difficult to overcome feelings of stress, entrapment, and hopelessness. I enjoy listening to calming music before bed, particularly when I’m finding myself unable to escape my thoughts and clear my head. I’m keeping this post “short and sweet” and sharing a few songs that help me reset in times of uncertainty. You might know some of them already, but I hope they bring you peace. I would also love to hear your recommendations for soothing songs in the comments!
