I just woke up and listened to the most beautiful chorale as I was getting ready for the day. I lay in bed for about ten minutes with my air pods in my ears, taking in the music, slowly waking. I put on the coffee machine, got breakfast ready for the kids and woke them up. I found that the music was so beautiful in helping me ease gently into the day and made me feel calm and peaceful from the minute I opened my eyes. And tonight before I go to bed, when the kids are asleep and the dishes are washed, I am going to run a bath, light a candle, and put chorale music on again. And I will likely fall asleep to the music too. I find it soothing and relaxing and all-encompassing. And if you do not know chorale music, I encourage you to listen.
The importance of music
My children love music too and they will listen to the blues, a choir concert, soul music or rock and roll, depending on their moods. I listen to a variety of music too, not just choral music. I love solo female artists, I love classical music, and I love the old music from the seventies and eighties too! Give me a good Abba song although I can never play it too loud, my family will leave me. Music is so good for the soul. It is meaningful, Music makes you feel, it makes you come alive, it helps with emotions, it helps with mood and it is just a wonderful thing to have in your life. You can listen to music on the radio, have your own music app and playlists, which is what I do, or go to concerts. You can do all of that. I encourage you to try chorale first thing in the morning though!
