I get stresses most of the time due to boulders of paper works.What do I do? I climb the roof top and pluck my guitar. Either I sing a sull song or I just hum with the string. It helps.This maybe is what they say , my version of music therapy. Try it!

Listening to music does wonders to alleviate stress. Please note that everyone has different tastes in music. Listen to the music that you feel comfortable. Sitting down and forcing yourself to listen to relaxation music that you don't like may create stress, not alleviate it.
I play a tune on the guitar and sing along. It works even in the worst of times. By the time I'm done with the song, I've breathed deep, I've controlled myself to some degree to be able to sing on key :-), and I've come back into myself, and more into the real time moment.\
Trivia:
Music was found to reduce heart rates and to promote higher body temperature - an indication of the onset of relaxation. Combining music with relaxation therapy was more effective than doing relaxation therapy alone.
Have a nice day my friend!

I love music therapy. I sing whenever I am not feeling right. I will sing in my car, in my shower and in my room.

That always works for me every time im stressed about anything i can just play my drums or guitar and try to make up something to get my mind away from that stress. Drums are especially good for angry moments just cant hit too hard
