To Do : My Passion for Music

Well, I know all of you have heard of my love for the Amazing music artist : Lindsey Stirling. And tonight as I was working on my writing, ( FYI : I listen to instrumental music when I type on my book, for inspiration) I hit a little writer's block. Normally when I have writer's block, I pace around the room, going over ideas, and usually it works. But that night, I just wasn't feeling it. So, I decided to try something different. I just started dancing! I just let out all of my stress, even though I wasn't that stressed out, through movement! And you know what?? It totally, 100% Worked! I sat down after the song, winded a little, but feeling great. I read a little of what I had just typed and POOF! Writers block,...gone.
So, yes there is a point to this whole story. I just wanted to share how soothing and amazing good music can be! Instrumental especially. And when you find a really good song that you just love, that you can just let yourself go in, It's amazing. And as you know, I'm a Christian, and I think you should really only play good music. I'm not saying that if you play non-Christan you can't do it, but it's so much harder to just get into that amazing feeling.
So next time you feel like you're feeling down, or just don't know what to do, frustrated with God, or you feel like you don't know what you're doing with yourself, try this:
  1.  Tell God how you're feeling. Tell Him all your troubles and worries, and just get it off your chest! Have yourself a good cry, too, if it helps! Sometimes breaking down crying can be the best way to make you feel better...
  2. Then find a song that you can really relate to. It could be Instrumental, Pop, Jazz, Heavy Metal, Anything! Anything that gets you full of happiness, on your feet, moving in any way that you like. 
  3. Then find a room. A room that is relatively large, or just big enough to move around in. Clear some furniture, and anything you really wouldn't want to accidentally run into, out of the way. I don't want you to feel embarrassed or anything, so if you're even just a little shy, I suggest find a room that no one goes into, or wait for them to leave the house, just so you can be totally free and fully enjoy yourself, without the whole- turning around to see if anyone is watching -ordeal. A completely worry-free zone. 
  4. Turn it on, loud! Not busting your ears loud, but loud enough so you feel surrounded by it almost. Now the rest is up to you. 
       This wonderful, um, I don't know what you call it really...I guess "process" (?) works on many different things too. It can be something as writers block, or as complex as your parents getting divorced. (though I doubt that you are going to break down crying when you have writers block! ;) but if you do, it ok! nothing wrong with it!) the point is, it is a great reliever, and I hope it works for you too!
