3 Must-Listen Playlists to Amp Up Your Self-Care Routine
Whatever your vibe, we’ve got a soundtrack that will give you Main Character Energy.Self-care doesn’t have to be complicated—it can be as simple as listening to the right song. Whether it’s a dance-y track that gets you moving when you’re feeling sluggish, a sad song that helps you tune into what you’re really feeling, or a chill beat to help you wind down after a hectic work day, music has the power to shift our mood and help us reconnect with ourselves in a deeper way. And unlike some self-care techniques that require patient practice over time (meditation, we’re looking at you), all you have to do is hit play.
To help you test it out for yourself, our team put together three playlists to suit your different moods. Coastal Morning will help you recreate the slow, sunny mornings of a beach vacation no matter where you are, helping you start the day with good vibes and a little more ease. Mindful Vitality’s upbeat songs are the perfect midday pick-me-up or getting-ready playlist with a 10/10 chance of improving your mood. And Evening Chill will help you do just that, with a calming selection of songs to help you get reflective and rest easy as you slow down at the end of the day. Happy listening!
