I believe music is the best stress reliever. However, not all music can be used to relieve stress. Some music is too loud or too fast or even too dissonance to help calm me and help me get done what I need to get done. There is however music that can be worlds of help to me. If I am ever stressed about the work I have to do, I simply take a break and listen to the calming sounds of The Airborne Toxic Event or the sweet harmonies of Of Monsters and Men. I listen to my music then go back to work, and I am able to complete my task. Music does not only cure stress related to work but also to that which is related to life. In a bad place, I can listen to one of two things. I can listen to compositions that relate to how I am feeling and to what is going on in my life or to uplifting songs that are completely unrelated, but still enjoyable to be heard. I believe music can not only cure my stress, but also yours. I challenge you to the next time you’re freaking out about an assignment or just life in general, to turn on your favorite band or favorite song, close your eyes, and just listen. Let this music fill you. It might be different music for you. You might like the loud, fast, dissonance songs, and that might calm you down, but to each his own. Whatever works. The fact is music is a powerful tool and one of the only art forms that has stayed relevant throughout time. So let it be the therapy needed to get through life.
I believe music is the best stress reliever.
