I do sometimes.It give me pleasure and makes my body relaxing as i listen to them.Music works wonders to relieve stress by focusing your thoughts on the sound, calming you and invigorating stress relieving vibrations in your body. The important thing about using music in reducing stress is when you listen those songs that you like most.

Yes....when I put on some lively music then it perks me up....when I put on something soft and mellow then it calms me down...but if I am stuck in traffic I like headbanging music you can sing with...no road rage here!

How could anyone not? Music is the gateway to feeling uplifted by any type of emotion. Music is fun to listen too, but a big part of me believe that music is mainly for your soul to keep you grounded. I'm kind of stressed out a lot and music helps me greatly.

Music relaxes me and often it makes me move to the groove!! But then, is it weird that I'm listening to music that I can't understand? You know, those songs from other asian countries? I find the melody of their songs relaxing and different at the same time. If it's a fast song, I often catch myself banging my head over...Oh music, such sweet sweet sound...

All the time!! I'm siting with my computer listeing to music right now. I am sitting i a crowded place, so the music helps to drown out the background noise, and it also eases the stress of the crap that's going on in my life right now.

I listen to music when i feel sick and most often than not, i have to cancel my appointments with doctors after an hour of listening to music. I really like crunk though and i hate slow music -makes me dizzy and uneasy lol.
