I wonder how music impacts your lives. This can be some grand sense if you want to go there and talk about how music is how you keep stable, or it could be how individual songs make you react. For me when it comes to studying (when i did study) I would listen to some quiet monotonous instrumentals off of youtube that kept me focused on the work I had to do. I found myself feeling overwhelmed if I didn't try to balance out taxing my brain with pleasing it. Additionally I used music as a crutch to work out when I first began. When I would go for walks or lift and such I couldn't do it in quiet. I needed that mental distraction of music to take some focus off of being aware of exactly every step or movement I did. I would not go out on walks if I didn't have my music device charged up. These days I don't require music to go about what should be normal activities, but when I first stepped into that ring I couldn't function without it.
