Music Makes It All Better

Isn't it the truth?

Am I lying when I say that? There's not to many things that can, without a doubt in seconds, make me a much more happier person. I mean instantly.  No matter the mood I may be in music has the power to have me go from being stressed and/or aggravated to immediately bopping my head to the beat with a big smile and not even caring what just had me so stressed.

How many of you can relate?

Music, it just has that ability.  Especially good music from artists that have a passion and care about what they're putting out (but that's for a whole other blog Haha).  What's cool is we all have certain types of music for different feelings and moods we're in.  Whether it is Slow Jams, Rap, Alternative, Pop, Jazz (to name a few) they all have purpose and make the day to day better.  I tell you right now a ride on the MTA is much better with music.

One of the things I find to be great about music is how it can being bring groups of people together (no matter race, sex, height, you name it) and have us all singing the lyrics to a song and dancing as we do it.  Amazing.  Let's take it a step further, did you know its been said that playing music while a women is pregnant can have a positive effect on the baby's developing.  Some music will actually calm the baby and make for a relaxing night.  Crazy Right!

So What Are Some Examples???

Good question.  When you want to get with the loving and spend that quality time with your better half you usually will throw on some Slow Jams to set the tone.   Slow Jams bring you closer, the whole mood is better and if you're in a better mood you feel better and do it better.  I have noticed with myself that I can concentrate and get a whole lot of work done when I have music blasting.  I forget about time and I just get locked into what I'm doing.  As I said before it definitely makes a ride on the MTA better because it blocks out all the unnecessary noise that comes along with public transportation.  Music in all of the live sporting events make the experience of being at the game better.  Get where I'm coming from?

So In Closing.

Music can make your whole day better.  It will put you in a better mood and with that you feel better about the day.  There's no limit to the power of music and the things it could do.  I just felt the need to write about it and share these thoughts with you.  As always I thank you for reading and encourage any comments and feedback you might have.

Thanks and I'll see you next time!

Advice We Give, But Never Use

Why is it easier to help other people out with their problems or situations then it is to help ourselves out? I've thought about it from time to time and for the life of me can't understand why I can give the best advice for people to do but yet (even when I could use the same advice) don't use it. Its so crazy.

I find it amazing that we are the advisers and problem solvers to everybody else and yet we rarely take our own advice.  I remember I always had a friend of mine always message me with women issues and I'd give him the perfect ways to go about it and with me I do the exact opposite.  Give him the best ideas on what to say and where to go but didn't use my own advise.

"Believe that?????"

Most of us are always looking for advice from the next person when we know damn well we have the answers in our own head.  I really think I'd listen to a stranger on the train that knows nothing of my situation rather than listen to the voice in my head that would give me better advice.

Can you agree with this concept?  I would think 8 out of every 10 people will agree with what I'm saying.  I'm amaze myself with the advice I give and yet so puzzling when I can apply that same advice in my life for the same situation I'm going through but instead rather be stuck on "Duuuuh".

"Go Figure"

To this day my best advice I give and not use is (telling my brother) to break your bills down weekly (or bi-weekly, according to when you get paid) and just pay a small portion of your bill each time you get paid instead of once a month.  (Example, your cell bill is $100 then pay $25 each week). But in this situation neither of us do so we're both losing out.

Is there advice that you would usually give people about a certain situation and not use it yourself?  Are you the 2 out of 10 people that actually use your advice???  How lucky you must be.  It's one thing to second guess your gut (even though that's always right), but to not take your own advice is crazy!!!!  Yet I keep doing it.  Ugh.  Hahahaha  <----  sometimes that's all you could do.

Thanks as always for reading.  See you next time and please feel free to comment and tell me what you think and if you do what I do and not take your own advice or if you actually do take your own advice.
