We know that feeling: the turning stomach, the racing thoughts, the ever-present worry that seems to follow you around like a bad song. Anxiety can slow you down or just plain stop you in your tracks. Suga shared his experience beautifully in The Last. We all need help figuring out how to live with anxiety in some way. Here some ways to handle it, prevent it, live with it:


Mindfulness: Deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and visualization for calming anxiety.


Power down & recharge: Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep, regular exercise, and limit screen time before bed. • Fuel your body & mind: Eat a balanced diet, limit processed foods & caffeine, and spend time in nature. • Connect & share: Spend time with loved ones, practice gratitude, and don't be afraid to seek help if needed.


Music can actually influence our mood, and specific types of music can be incredibly helpful in managing anxiety. So, hang in there and tune into these K-Pop tracks that'll help you find your inner zen:


Calming Classics: Feeling overwhelmed? Take a deep breath and hit play on these soothing melodies:

  • IU's "eight": This gentle ballad with its soft piano chords and introspective lyrics creates a calming atmosphere, perfect for quieting your mind.

  • BTS's "Spring Day": The delicate melodies and reflective lyrics offer a sense of peace and understanding, reminding you that you're not alone in your struggles.

  • ASTRO's "Blue Flame": The smooth vocals and calming rhythm of this song have a hypnotic effect, gently easing away tension and anxiety.


Drum it Out: Sometimes, the best way to release pent-up anxiety is to let loose! Grab your imaginary drumsticks and jam out to these high-energy tracks:

  • DAY6's "Zombie": This rock-infused anthem with its powerful drumming and anthemic chorus will have you channeling your inner rockstar and leaving your worries behind.

  • Stray Kids' "God's Menu": The intense rap verses and energetic beat of this song are guaranteed to get your adrenaline pumping and help you feel empowered.

  • ITZY's "ICY": This fast-paced dance track with its infectious rhythm and confident lyrics will have you moving your body and forgetting about your anxieties.


Bonus Tip: Feeling extra stressed? Put on your headphones, close your eyes, and focus on the music. Pay attention to the instruments, the lyrics, and the way the song makes you feel. This mindful listening can be incredibly calming and help you manage your emotions in the moment.


Remember, K-Pop is just one tool in your anxiety-fighting arsenal. Don't hesitate to reach out to friends, family, or professionals if you need additional support.
