Sometimes we need a bit of help to relax. This page contains links to soothing videos and music designed to help people find tranquility.
One way to introduce calm into your life is to watch animals! There are tons of animal webcam streams available. Here are only a few to get you started.

Background Noise Generators
Some of us focus or relax better with background noise. In the absence of going to a coffee shop or to the library, use these noise generators to simulate public places or the great outdoors.
Purrli (for when you fancy the sound of a purring cat instead)
