Being zen

I am used to listening to music while at work, when writing or reading. Usually I listen songs from Youtube, Spotify or some rock radio online. But what I've noticed, even though I try to find new music every now and then, that you can get sick and tired of  music. Or maybe not sick and tired, but fed up, stuffed. And when you are stressed or need to concentrate to something 'important', listening to the latest hits or 80's rock classics isn't a good option. That is when you need something else. Of course Youtube has these meditation and relaxation tracks but even those might be annoying if listened too much, too often.

Luckily I follow Lifehacks and from there I found three new favorite sites of mine. The first one is Naturesoundsfor.me. Absolutely a wonderful selection of nature sounds, animals sounds, birds, household etc. I'm actually listening to it right now. The sounds I have on at the moment are whale, rowing and beach. Another combination I like very much includes wind chimes, fountain, crickets and wind in leaves.

The other good site is Simplynoise.com. There you can choose between pink noise, white noise and brown noice. I prefer pink and white noises. The third site can be found from Simplynoise and it is called Simplyrain. As you might have guessed there you'll find sounds of rain falling down.

So.. soothing sounds to work with.. or when you are stressed.. or if your boss pisses you off and you just want out of the office.
