Why should I listen to music? If I'm stressed out it's because I have so much to do and sitting around listening to music just seems like a waste of time.
Though it may seem like an additional source of noise to distract you, the truth is that productivity increases as stress decreases. Taking 15 to 20 minutes to relieve stress will increase your production insurmountably!
Music provides a mental escape for us by acting as a distraction, absorbing our attention, and allowing us to stop focusing on problems that have our nerves tensed.
Through the music we listen to we are distracted from the hustle and bustle of tasks on hand and provided a way to explore the emotions we are feeling. Depending on what you choose to turn into music can be used for meditation, motivation, or a therapeutic voice to talk you through a situation.
Your favorite jams can quickly become that extra boost of motivation you need to wake you up and refocus your attention on the work you have ahead of you. Nature sounds can take you out of the situation you are in allowing you to meditate and release your stress into the World. Smooth sounds of classical and orchestral music can slow your heart rate, reduce your pulse, and bring you down from a stressful peak to a serene calm state of mind.
As emotions vary from person to person, so do musical preferences. Preview a variety of songs to determine if it's a good candidate to be included in your "Feel Good Music" library. Once you have your selections, keep them stored in whichever technology you prefer to listen to music on, and be sure to tune in whenever you feel that stress has overcome and consumed you.
Play a few different pieces out and find your "Feel Good Music"!
