Whether you’re battling a case of the Wednesdays or want to punch someone after watching last night’s presidential debate, there’s a web address that will clear your mind for two to ten minutes at a time.
Calm.com is described simply as a “place to relax.”
Visitors can choose from a variety of relaxing locations — a beach, a lake, a grassy field, a stream — as well as musical backgrounds and whether or not they’d like a soothing voiceover to guide them through short intervals of breathing. Is it cheesy? Of course. But if you don’t have time to get outside for a walk or hit your head on the copy machine a few times, here’s your free, online escape.

When news happens, Phoenix New Times is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
The site was founded in April 2012 and already has 62,000 Facebook likes and 5,000 followers on Twitter — most of whom would probably rather be on vacation in Calm.com’s featured locations, but make do with the virtual alternative.
Fair warning: The waterscapes are likely to have a similar effect as an office fountain, so you might have to take a walk to the bathroom after all.
Here’s to the end of Wednesday …
