3/8/2018 0 Comments Stress RelieverRecently, I have come to the realization that I mostly listen to music when I am stressed. I like to walk and listen to music. That is what I do when I walk to exams. When I am am driving in scary weather. When I am skiing down a steep mountainish hill. It was always just a habit because it made me feel less lonely when I felt lonely. I used to think that when I was stressed I would swim or go running, but that is typically after a long build-up of stress because for the amount I stress I endure daily, my amount of swimming in a pool doesn't begin to compensate.
The consistency of the song continuing allows me to know that life goes on. Once the song ends, life isn’t over just like how problems don’t end your life. When I was scared for my life each day all by self in Amsterdam with a bunch of strangers I made a playlist titled "Happy Vibes" and it starts with a song by Two Door Cinema Club called “this is the life”. Once I started singing that (with my awful voice) I basically talked myself into thinking I was living the life. I obviously am a person that can be easily convinced. Many of the songs on this playlist cause fleeting moments of nostalgia when I listen to these songs with friends over hte years. This gave me sanity to remember they are still there even when I felt deprived of social interactions and the feeling of constant comfort. All these songs on this playlist are horrendously overplayed and I have a new playlist entitled "Happy Hits!" Wow, I am so original.
