All Things Music

I'm moving at the end of this month, so my days are filled with packing and organising everything for the move. I'm finding it all quite stressful and wonder what activities/things help you deal with busy times.

Obviously, we all use music. For me, that could be anything from symphonic metal to pop, depending on the mood. I'm also using a bit of time in the evenings to play computer games for a bit of less-important brainwork. And I'm feeling the urge to read a good book plus watch Doctor Who (9th and 10th Doctor) and/or Torchwood!

Music is definitely a mood setter/enhancer. When I'm totally stressed out, I have an Enya cd that I play. I'll slip on headphones to muffle the rest of the world and just let the music wash over me. I also use music to jack up my energy level; when I'm cleaning my house, anything that is energetic with a great beat really gets me moving! LOL

Books are my solo escape, but we also have a game night at least once a week. Board games, card games and role playing games are a good way to put aside the stress of the day and just enjoy being with family. ;-)
