How I calm down     posted on 8th of may, 2008

I will not ask you to cook, follow a ten-steps routine, go to an anger management course, call your psychiatrist, drink until you fall under the table and sleep, take some medicines, drink herbal tea, eat chocolate. I have never followed any of these, at least not when angry, moody, and needed calming down. I tend to swear a lot :)... but I do have another excellent remedy for angry, frustrated, annoyed, stressed, overworked people out here and there.

Music! - did i hear a disappointed awwwww? I know you know this, but what you do not know is this: I have special songs, appropriate for each mood and situation, and I gladly and warmly recommend them. Feel free to add your suggestions while enjoying my music :)

1. Piana Something's lost - this will put you to sleep :). But this is what I listen when I am really angry. And I think only happy thoughts :).

2. Muse Bliss - this will make you remember that there is someone there who loves you.

2 Knife Pass this on - this will make you wanna go out and get ridiculously drunk, dress funny, do silly things.

4. Mum Map of a piano. This always makes me go to the movies/theatre.

5. Shivaree Bossa Nova so what if I am angry - luckily there is someone at home I can yell at.

6. Noir desir L'appartement

francais, french......what can I say? You think of whatever you want for this song. I am addicted to it.

7. Faithless Crazy English summer this makes me think of home. I usually play it on my way to my parents' home.

8. Lamb Gorecki this reminds me of how happy, carefree, young and crazy I once was.....in college......thousands of years ago...

9. Roisin Murphy Overpowered it's time to go out and have a drink with the girls, gossip and talk latest fashion, movies, theater plays, weddings, occasionally books..Do we talk books these days?

10. And finally something that will definitely calm you down, Hooverphonic Eden to which you can safely add Nirvana Blue but unfortunately not available on youtube in the version I like.

Anyway, enjoy :) I have got plenty of other songs.On my computer, Ipod, cds etc. Too bad I do not listen to them too often.

To be completely honest Petar, music is my only proven remedy for angry/anger fits. This is why some of my music is angry or has angry beats :). As alternative, I tried beating chocolate, puddings, creme brulees, instead. It led to....extra pounds. So music is a lot cheaper and healthier.

You have provided a fun and useful method to call away the pressures too.

It is easy to forget how wonderful music is, and how quickly it reaches deep into the heart. Thanks for the reminder.

For myself - I go outside and sit in the sun, and breathe deeply for at least 5 minutes. It works!

Really, no Anger Management course?! Hm... I guess there's more out there than I thought. :P

:) Hi Teresa...I do that when cleaning. I dance with the vacuum cleaner.

Dancing and singing to the songs is also good. Helps relieve the tension. :) I dance with my cat (not sure yet if he likes it or not).
