I have a habit of listening to Pachelbel's Canon over and over and over and over.....and I find myself daydreaming and finding ideas for novels (but never writing them down). Listening to classical music helps me to relax as well as open my creative genius, so to speak. I can imagine a story or an image along with certain pieces (it helps if any of the pieces were featured on Fantasia).   (2 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not)

If I'm wired, I take my "Happy Trails Mix" and hit the trails running to release the energy. If I'm depressed and need to pout, I cozy up to my "Pity Party Mix," to get it out of my system and regain perspective. Today, I was starting to stress about my sick cat so I made a "Balm" mix to remind me of God's care and provision.   (2 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not)

I like rock, mostly classic rock, and the blues, country, and oldies, it just depends on what mood I'm in or what inspired me to listen. The right sounds at the right time can be very relaxing.   (3 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not)

I'm not talking about R&B; stuff, I'm talking about the old stuff-- Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaichovsky. Granted, public schools would laugh my ass off at this, but this is what really relaxes me.   (0 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not)

13. tvtator (4) , on 1/16/2004 3:38:00 PM, said:      This is one of my favorite things to do to relax as I love music. As others have said it depends it depends on the music. A good jazz cd would be my music of choice to relax too. Some of my favorites that soothe me are Yardbird Suite by Charlie Parker, Kind of Blue by Miles Davis, and Blue Train by John Coltrane.   (1 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not)
