Now or Never

Now or Never's 'Just Slow Down' playlist

Now or Never listeners, hosts, and producers share favourite songs that help them slow down and take a breath.

Let's take a moment, listen to some tunes, and breathe

We all need to slow down sometimes. Here's a playlist that can help. (Andrew Friesen/CBC)

We all have different rituals that help us slow down.  Maybe it's walking outside in nature, rolling out the yoga mat, or just crawling into bed for an afternoon nap.

Music can also help soothe the soul. So the Now or Never team put our heads together, and put a call out to listeners, to compile a playlist that will help you take a breath.

Happy listening!
