Music

I learned something new about myself tonight.  Music helps me get things done.  I have no idea why! If I have some sort of music, it doesn't really matter what type, playing I focus easier.  I have had music playing on my computer since 3:00 this afternoon and I have not gotten off track once! I haven't even checked facebook or sent a single text. I am so happy I have discovered this, because I have a lot to do.  I made a whole to-do list for today and I have completed a lot of it. Is this why there is a such thing as music therapy? Does music hold a kind of "special power"? I will admit music can change your mood.  If you are listening to classical music you are generally more relaxed and at ease.  If you are listening to screamo your blood pressure raises and you are more tense.  Now that I think about it, my lab group last year did an experiment on this.  We tested 20 people for changes in blood pressure and heart rate as the music changed.  It was a very cool experiment.
