Soothing

Productive Creative Expectations

Lots of us have to-do lists that are miles and miles long. So when we throw in an expectation that we’re supposed to be creative as well as productive — well, that can just push some people over the edge! We need skills for soothing, calming, and relaxing to go along with the focused productivity and creative energy. Explore a new kind of music on youtube. Put on background music with the sounds of a waterfall. Our nervous systems are designed for activation and then re-set. Soothe. Breathe.
