This soundscape uses light rain and stream field recordings paired with ambient piano chords, which I use for study, sleep, relaxation, or focus. 

Researchers at Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS) found that playing 'natural sounds' affected the bodily systems that control the flight-or-fright and rest-digest autonomic nervous systems, with associated effects in the resting activity of the brain.

Other research shows once you settle on a nature sound you find pleasant, Gould van Praag says it may also help improve your focus and concentration. In the study, participants performed best at "attention tasks" when listening to sounds that were considered familiar, compared with unfamiliar ones. “I think this supports the importance of finding an environment or sound machine that is right for the individual,” says Gould van Praag. “Rainforest noises might only have a strong relaxing effect if you are already very familiar with rainforests!”

Rainy Stream 10 Minute Meditation (Soundscape Nature Field Recording)

A goal planner is a great way to get your thoughts out of your head and on paper! With my anxiety, I stay up late thinking and over-thinking, but I have learned it is best to write my thoughts down. Rather than storing thoughts in my mind and constantly running through them, writing them down allows me to externalize the issue at hand and manage my thoughts from the outside.

To support a healthy mind. I write my goals down each month and check back in with myself regularly to see if I am on track.
