RE: Music as a crutch, and some mental health musings

in ThoughtfulDailyPost2 years ago

Some days, I just don't want to be a mom. I'm mentally drained, in need of alone time, or sleep deprived (thanks teething!). I always want to WANT to though 😂 and so, I turn to my friend music.

I start to shake my hips, feeling the vibrations coming through my floorboards energizing my being. I let go of my stress. Shake, twist, and wiggle until it begins to fly off, flung away by my wild arms.

If I'm frustrated in any way, I've taken to dancing it out like some kind of 90's movie. My kids LOVE this, and I am reminded of how wonderful life really is. Music is medicinal!

ah here!!! I love this intro. Beautiful honesty and music sure us medicine!! The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - The Impression That I Get --- Love it!! Never heard it before either, but I can tell you this, before the week is out I'll have heard it a few more times, as it's just class. Video, vibes, lyrics, the whole package... Class.

My husband hurts my feelings ALL the time, except that isn't his intention. When I ask for clarification I often find that he didn't mean what I thought he did at all. Just as the darkness isn't scary, my ideas of it are... things are usually not as negative as I might think on a bad day.

Great insight, I think we all do this sometimes and all need wubba wubba wubba a bit more!!

If you're feeling down today, why not try dancing some of it out? Sometimes the tension in our bodies drains our mental state, a few minutes of motion is worth more than you'd think!

Such good advise, dance around your kitchen like noone is looking and see if your not smiling by the end.

AAaaaahh!! I'm so stoked that you liked "the impression that I get" 😁 I'm smiling thinking of another Hivian rocking out to it somewhere! Thank you for this amazing comment, and encouraging people to share their connection to music! I'm amazed every week at the stories that come with ttt, it's one of my fav days of the week!
