Sometimes I will lookup the music video for a song I like on YouTube and it will recommend some other videos to watch. I also will lookup the soundtracks to my favorite shows/movies.
whenever i hear a song i like i always look it up on this website and probably 80% of the time it leads to me discovering even more really cool music i most likely wouldn't have looked into or found otherwise

If you can find one or two rando pieces of music, and start clicking on related links, you will soon be flooded with a never-ending stream of recommendations, most of which are gas. It’s still the GOAT discovery algorithm
This is a podcast about two black female scientist best friends that discuss the science of things. I loved this podcast so much and I’m sad that they don’t make new episodes.
There are a few things I do such as:
- Take vitamin D supplements during the gloomier months. My friend has been telling me for years and I finally did it and feel the difference.
- Any sliver of sun you see stand in it. Bask in it. We need it.
- Check if you’re dehydrated with the skin pinch test. If you fail, then get some electrolytes or coconut water in you.
- Go on a walk. Any physical activity to get your dopamine back.
- Delete all social media apps on my phone.
- A new one I’ve been experimenting with is soundbaths. You can either listen to YouTube videos of it or find a local class. Have tried this for the past few months and I feel reset.
- And sometimes you just need a good night out at a rave/concert where the music is so loud you don’t have to talk to anyone, you can disassociate and let the music drown out whatever is on your mind.
