Imagine floating through a black void. Toppling over and flipping through the darkness. That’s what I feel like when I listen to relaxing music or ASMR. I also like to relax by taking a walk through the woods in our backyard. Music, ASMR, and taking a quick walk help you to relax in ways you don’t even know. They can relax your muscles, help you concentrate, feel more optimistic, lowers blood pressure, and relieves anxiety. 

Whether it is pop, country, or rock music can help you to relax by helping you concentrate on a task or having fun jamming out at a school dance. Music can help you feel more optimistic, it can also relax your muscles, and when you listen to music your brain synchronizes with the beat to relieve tension. ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. It is similar to music because it uses your sense of hearing to relieve stress and anxiety. ASMR can also promote relaxation, lower your blood pressure, and can cause fewer headaches. Another way you can relax is to take a brisk walk through your yard. Taking a walk can improve your mood by promoting the release of endorphins (brain chemicals) to stimulate relaxation.

In conclusion, some scientific methods to relieve stress can be music, ASMR, and taking a walk, because they can help you concentrate, feel more optimistic, and promote the release of endorphins to help you to relax.
