Does music help you release stress?

Music really helps me a lot to feel better when I'm not. I tend to listen to bossa nova music, the rhythm, beat and everything about bossa nova music just make me feel a lot better. I feel like it's very relaxing and comforting.

yes, believe it or not metal helps me relieve a great deal of stress. it is soo right up my alley rebellious and angry. i don't go around being violent and smashing things, because i have to be a parent to my kids. i certainly feel like it and live vicariously through heavy metal. it gives me an energy that no other form of music can. "positive" music will only make me more frustrated if i don't feel in that kind of mood...im like, "what b.s, the world doesn't work like that!". i guess it just depends on how i feel.

yes, the music, either just to be heard or played, it can reduce stress ... I do not know how to explain it scientifically, but that's what I felt, when I'm stressed, I try to play the guitar or listening to music, and the result, my stress is gone

yes it is specially if i cant sleep coz my mind keep on wandering about things. i have compilation of instrumental music for me to listen to distract my mind and concentrate to the music instead til i sleep. they also said that as one way of meditation, sometimes it works but sometimes not coz of the noise from car from busy street even in the middle of the night.

i listen to my music whenever i can. alot of the times i have it blazing. i mostly just listen to music when nobody else is around.

I don't have angry music like you do! Hello baumunkgirl! But when I'm sad or trying to feel better I do listen to music! I like christian music because its raises my spirit! I have a friend that years ago had a special cassete with songs of anger when she broke up with boyfriends! She sang very loud crying and singing with so much passion, her sister, my sister and I laughed a lot for that casette and the hole situation. But it worked for her so we where there for her! I think music is very powerful talking about feelings and staying positive! Happy mylotting, Libna!

definitely... i love music and i like to sing as well... singing and listening to music really make me relax and soothe my mood whenever i feel down... but i don't like pop and heavy music... i prefer a soft, classic and jazzy type of music like bee gees and abba... take care and have a nice day...

Definitely YES!! It has always been a practice or shall I say a habit of mine to listen to music every night just before I go to sleep. I am sure you will agree with me that listening to music relaxes the mind and body especially when you hear those which are your favorites. I especially like love songs, pop and ballad, and acoustics and instrumentals. I cannot imagine my life without music! I think i wouldn't live if music wasn't invented! HAHAHA!

I would wish to vent out my anger using music but the times when I want to do that, it always happens to be in the middle of the night. I don't want the police to come knocking on my doors so in the end, I never. If relieving stress, I go for songs which are sentimental to me and it does helps me to cry out loud and get over with the negative feeling that I had felt. Music has been and always will be part of my interest and I really think it's can make me feel sleepy, happy, relieve, or even sympathetic. Especially watching films which goes very well with the scene. Thus, music is like everything to me. Did you know, even when you stop to do nothing and listen to the sounds around you, sometimes it can also be a music of its own (I heard of this explanation which comes from musical piece where nothing is played and the sound that comes from every where is the music itself)

Music has a calming affect on me. No matter what mood i am in, whenever i turn on the music, i actually feel much better. Such a shame i cannot take my earphones to work. That would be a great help to get me threw the day. TATA.

yes,definitely i feel peace when i am in stress,it's give me the complete relaxation,so,the music is my favorite one to listen,and i like this very much,so, i feel release from stress when i was in stress or mood out or something,so this is my view about this above discussion and have a nice day my lotter.

Works for me. Especially when I'm really very angry. To mellow down... I would lock myself in the room like a teenager and listen to Candlebox's "Far Behind" I would play that over and over again. And when I feel contented and at ease, I try to switch to a much more calming music so when I get out of the room there won't be any trace of disgust of anger.

Not really but some times I guess...

music is good way to release stress but as for me it depends on what kind of music am i am going to play , if it is a rock music so it is not a good choice just get more headache ,but with music of Beethoven :"moonlight Sotana" and many more it is one of the best way to calm down.

There are certain songs that have me in tears while others make me want to dance and sing along. Music is essential in my life, it lifts my mood and brightens my day

that's right.I think music can reduce stress especially for bad mood situation I always listening to the music,that can make me relax and release my stress,because music can give me new spirit and refresh my mind,so music is very useful in my life

hi! yes, it definitely helps me release stress, because when i listen to my favorite songs i really feel much much better, it seems like the music changes my brain waves and avoid the stress

Yes definitely. I am a music lover too. My day is less if I can't hear music.
