Music and Stress

Music and Stress

     During the first week of my self change project I monitored my stress
levels and the way music effected the mental and physical aspects of stress.
From monitoring this properly, I found that listening to music pleasing to me at
the specifically different times I experienced stress did help reduce my
internal feelings and physical changes.  In carefully studying the various types
of stress experienced I concluded that certain types of music more effectively

        Stress can be felt in several different forms, included here are the

symptoms that I felt were:  trouble thinking clearly, forgetfulness, writers

apathy, and a strong feeling for the need to prove myself.  Examples of
relational symptoms included:  isolation, intolerance, resentment, clamming up,
