Quote From: jewels1I have found an excellent way to relieve my stress and reduce some of life's anxieties. And that is music. There are so many different genres of music but some are specifically geared at helping to reduce stress. Either way, if you find some kind of music that you like, you can kick back, close your eyes, and focus on the music instead of your problems for a while. I find that taking my mind off things, if only for a while, helps me to reflect and problem-solve, and feel more energized and better ready to handle things constantly being thrown my way.
I like a lot of music but my favorite artist for just such a purpose: BRADLEY JOSEPH
He's a wonderful composer/pianist/keyboardist, who creates the most emotional music I've ever heard. A lot of his music is designed to help the listener "calm, compose, and renew". And some of his music is fun and upbeat which really helps my mood too - gets my bootie moving to clean this house! LOL
What is your favorite music to help relieve stress?
Quote by Sellinger: i have a lot of different types of music that i listen to, but my favorite is just about anything metal/rock. I like a lot of different bands that most people would probably want to ban from playing in their city(many of my favorites have). I like intelligent music that is well thought out, good lyrics, stuff like that. also soemthing i can relate to. music is about expression, and a lot of musicians express the violence and agression that i can't right now. to me listening to some really, really hard metal calms me down. i guess the best way i can describe it is with a question...ever just had such a rough day where you would just like to throw something, or hit a punching bag? well, the metal i like does that for you with the music. lots of people think rock and metal makes kids violent, it doesnt. if a kid has serious issues they will act out anyways.
Hmmm, good point Sellingen! My son has always liked heavy metal/rock, and I may not like it much, but he's a good kid, hasn't affected him negatively that I can tell. I've never really thought to ask him if that is what helps him feel better - his music, maybe I should. Interesting.
Okay two completely opposite genres that help deal with stress - contemporary instrumental, and heavy metal.
What else?
