Music for Scholars:
I made this Music Slide Deck for scholars with music therapy accommodations. All of the songs are from freemusicarchive.org (Free Music Archive is an online library of audio and video content that the public, including music fans, webcasters, and podcasters, may listen to, download, or stream for free).
or Listen to Calming Sounds:
Defonic lets you play nature sounds in a browser tab as background for your work. Listen to rain, birds, fire, forest, crickets and so much more. Pick one or create your own soothing combination.

Breathe Slowly:
The eXHALeR web app is meant to help with your breathing exercises, and has been said to reduce stress and anxiety, by promoting slow and even breathing. The website guides you to exhale and inhale on cue, responding to the relaxing motions of the animation. You can customize the time intervals, color scheme, and whether to play audio by clicking on the three lines in the top right corner.

Window-Swap:
WindowSwap is a quarantine project by Sonali Ranjit and Vaishnav Balasubramaniam that lets you use your browser to watch a video of a window and its unique view from different locations across the globe. There are scenes from all over: there’s a rainy street in Thailand, a small field with a gentle breeze on a sunny day in Austria, a mountain view from Switzerland, a busy street in London, a view over a boardwalk and the ocean in Japan, a cat watching birds in Qatar, a view of the city skyline in Singapore, and my personal favorite so far: an almost panoramic view of of the ocean from Oahu.
The videos are prerecorded, which you might notice if you happen to land on the same window a day apart, and submitted by users. The site asks for 10-minute HD videos of “your window and frame,” along with the creator’s name and location. “Horizontal, vertical, square, round or decorative, all kinds of windows are welcome!” the site reads. Sit back, relax, and notice the stress in your life just melt away.
