Music is my saving grace!!

Life can get to dang crazy at time and the only way I can clear my head is listen to music. I've been feeling overwhelmed lately over nothing really. I put the kids down for their nap today and I felt like an anxiety attack coming on. I felt like I was suffocating so I decided to put my headphones on and listen to some music. It helped me in so many ways it's hard to explain. All the tension I've been feeling kind of just lifted off my shoulders. I should put my music back into my daily life again. I keep forgetting how much I appreciate my time just listening to music. No one can take this away, not even bad music. Most of the music I have on my blog I listen too and I should do it more often because even though some of the songs I feel like balling my eyes out or getting up and singing my heart out I love the meaning behind the songs. It helps me get out all the emotions I have within myself and it's like a release. I'm glad I have a healthy way to release all the tension because really I know from experience it's not good to keep things all kept tight in your soul. Music is my therapy and sometimes I feel sad listening to a song because it reminds me of a moment in time and then I'll listen to music being reminded why life's great. When I'm done I feel so refreshed and the feeling feels great like my own personal high. I just want to get up and do something and whatever struggle I have seems to not be so huge before I started listening to music. The end is good and some of the songs it reminds me how lucky I am to have a great husband and family. I have a wonderful support system who have my back. I have a lot of love in my life. So I'm sharing this with you. When life seems so hard just listen to some music, so be in your car on the way home from work or after the children go to bed. Find some time to just be by yourself and just crank up the tunes. Sing or don't sing but let the music go through you. Cry if you need to or scream your head off but let all that tension out. One thing about music is it doesn't judge, doesn't talk back and it's just you and the music. You can even control your emotions by music so if you're sad because of a breakup or you lost your job then listen to sad and depressing music then turn it around to inspirational music to upbeat music. Music can be a tool to get out all the emotions you need to get out to just release it to the universe. No one has to know about it. For example I needed Cindy Lauper today True Colors exactly. Here are some of the lyrics: You with the sad eyes Don't be discouraged Oh I realize Its hard to take courage In a world full of people You can lose sight of it all And the darkness inside you Can make you feel so small But I see your true colors Shining through I see your true colors And that's why I love you So don't be afraid to let them show Your true colors True colors are beautiful, Like a rainbow Show me a smile then, Don't be unhappy, can't remember When I last saw you laughing If this world makes you crazy And you've taken all you can bear You call me up Because you know I'll be there This song touches my soul because I needed this song today to remind me life gets hard at times and no matter if things get so crazy it's okay to feel crazy but in the end everything will be all right so be crazy for awhile because life is wonderful and you just have to believe in yourself and ask to for support when you can't bare to be you. Leaning on something greater than you when you just can't at time doesn't make you weak but makes you a stronger person then most. There is no shame in asking for support even if that means just being by yourself for awhile listening to music you love. Take care, Peace!!!!
