What do you do to relieve your own stress?
If I am feeling overwhelmed by a stressful situation, I try
to take a break and listen to classical music. I also enjoy listening to instrumental
music while studying, or even I am writing my blog post at this moment, I am also
listening to it.
However, some of my friends told me that they felt somewhat
distracted and could not concentrate on their studies when they heard some noise.
But personally, calm and relaxing instrument music soothe me and make me less
stressed, and I feel I can work more effectively.

After the result was announced he was very really happy. He said "It became my dream to participate in the competition and I cannot believe this moment".
This news reminds me that when I was young I dreamed to be a classical musician. My favourite musical instrument is the flute and I used to learn to play it when I was young. Unfortunately, I stopped studying it when I was a secondary school student, and I have not kept on practicing it, so now I can play it just a little bit.
Actually, there are also some of other musical instruments that interest me; for example, I also love the soulful and beautiful sound of violin.
I think it would be nice if I had a chance and time to learn to play this musical instrument.

I also used to play the flute, but so long ago now that I probably can't play a thing today. I never thought I'd be a great flautist, but it was very satisfying to be able to produce my own music, and good exercise for the arms!
ReplyDeleteActually, I don't listen to music when I'm blogging or doing anything that needs my attention - I find myself enjoying the music, which is a distraction from the work, or getting annoyed because the music distracts me from the work.
I do enjoy music when I'm doing something that doesn't need my brain engaged very much. It's good for a quick workout, and the like. Otherwise, I prefer to listen to the music and not be doing other things, or perhaps listen to music and be idly browsing the internet, with the option to switch attention if I come across something interesting.
I don't multi-task very well.
I see your point. Some people might feel distracted or lose concentration if they are working while listening to music. Yet, it may depend on the kind of music they listen to and the complexity of works. Perhaps, I might suggest you try listening to slow classical music by Mozart, Beethoven and the like while you working as background music in your workplace or room. That might help you relax yourself when you work, but I hope you will not feel sleepy first when you listen to slow music.
DeleteI agree with Feem that "depend on the kind of music they listen to and the complexity of works". Actually, I cannot listen to vocal music while I am reading a book, but I doesn't get distracted when I listen to slow background music.
DeletePs. "good exercise for the arms" makes me laugh a lot lol
I'd like to choose piano, because they can convey many kind and style of voice. I enjoy Yundi Lee, the former champion of the Chopin competition, while I also like piano jazz. It is very suitable for many kind of music, but sadly we can't carry it to the long weekend traveling. ;P

ReplyDeleteWhen I was young, I also liked the flute because of its peaceful and calm sound. But I have chosen the piano instead, exactly like Union, it has various sounds to 88 keys. My favorite composer is Mozart because his songs, especially piano solo and piano duet songs, help me unwind and delightful.
ReplyDeleteGlad to know that you also like listening to classical music ^^
