Stress and Music

There are certain days at work...and days of LIFE, in general, where I truly don't know if I would be able to make it through without my iPod. Music transports me to another place in my head, which, I suppose, is why I was drawn to the piano at such a young age. Playing the piano and running (with my headphones) are my OUTLETS. Anyone else have similar experiences?

Hi Natalie, much like you, music has been my savior throughout my life. My son bought me my first iPod late year and I'm having a blast learning how to download and upload my favorite songs. When the stress of a commute or a bad day at the office gets to me, I put on my headphones and transport myself to another more tranquil place. I used it as a form of meditation...it definitely calms me down and helps me put things into perspective.
