Calm Music to Unwind

Calm music to unwind after a long day · 20 songs

After a busy day it can be hard to switch off. Soft music gives your mind a cue that it's time to slow down. This playlist is full of gentle, unhurried tracks for winding down on the couch, in the bath or while you tidy up quietly before bed.

Try pairing it with a ten minute 'reset': dim the lights, put a few things away, and let the music do the rest.

Unwinding is a skill, and like any skill it gets easier with practice. Try the same calm playlist at the same time each evening, so your body starts to recognise it as the signal to slow down.

Tips

• Turn off bright overhead lights and use a lamp instead.
• Put your phone on charge across the room.
• Do a slow stretch or two while the first song plays.
• If you are feeling low for a long time, reach out to someone you trust or your doctor.
