When you catch a bad break, it's easy to overreact and lament your misfortune.
Maybe you got a bad grade on a test, or dropped your phone in the toilet. Or maybe you were a Team USA fan watching as Portugal stole a win from the American side at the last possible second in their World Cup match.
But once you've had some time to process your bad luck, you often realize that things aren't as bad as they seem. Take the USMNT, for example — that "heartbreaking" draw still leaves the team with a 76% chance to advance past the group stage.
We assembled this week's Music Monday playlist for occasions just like these. So if you've had a recent string of bad luck, throw on our playlist, and let these laid-back tunes remind you to "Take It Easy."

How to Share Your Song With Us
1. To follow Mashable on Spotify, click here. If a popup window asks you to launch an external application, accept. This just means the browser will open up Spotify.
2. Follow Mashable, or send us music by clicking "Send Music."
3. To send music while browsing tracks within Spotify, follow the MashableHQ account. Then right-click (ctrl + click) on the song you want to send, and click the "Share" option.
4. By default, Spotify pulls up the "Post to Feed" option. Instead, select the "Send to Friend" tab, type in "MashableHQ" and hit the blue "Send" button.
If "MashableHQ" doesn't show up when you're trying to send a track, make sure you're following the account. If you're still having problems sending a song after that, let us know in the comments, below, and we'll help you fix the problem.
