The 24/7 news cycle and easy access to social media makes it easier than ever to stay informed. It can also be overwhelming and cause stress levels to rise.

As uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus remains, it's more important than ever to check on your mental health. Take stock of how your friends, family, and neighbors are doing too.

During these stressful times, it's important to remember that music plays an important role in boosting your mental well-being.

If anxiety is getting a hold of you, here's ten songs to put on that will help you relax and put your mind at ease.

1 Bobby McFerrin - Don’t Worry Be Happy

While we won’t go as far as anointing this the most relaxing song of all time, it comes pretty darn close.

2 Billie Eilish - my future

Going along with the chill melody is a wonderfully relaxing music video. Plus, the lyrics of the songs offer optimism about the future.

3 Dierks Bentley - Living

Dierks beautifully puts into song all types of experiences we have in life. It stresses the need to appreciate life and will give you a reassuring outlook on it.

While the lyrical content of the song may reference war, the music behind it has the ability to take you away to a relaxing space.

The ballad is about finding love and meaning in a relationship where you’re apart from your significant other. Complete with a relaxing, piano-driven melody.
