Thank god for music

This blog is going to be about motivation and music. About a week into starting school again I hit a wall.  The evil depression bug somehow found me. I suddenly wasn't feeling like myself anymore and knew it was slowly creeping up on me. I had no reason other than a bit of stress to feel the way I did. One day we were at an antique store, a place that will always cheer me up, and felt very mentally unstable. I couldn't pinpoint what was making me so upset. Sure schools stressful but this was too powerful to only be from one thing. I was trying my best to shake the dark thoughts away. I could hear myself trying to distract my head and think of other things. This was an improvement at least from who I was before. One night we put in a concert movie called "Adele-Live at the Royal Albert Hall." It was unbelievable and really struck something inside me. I don't know why are for what reason but about halfway through her song "Someone like you" I felt a sudden courage and wonder as to why I've ever been upset. It made me realize things that were important in life and made me feel motivated. Since I watched her concert dvd I have listened to her cd in iTunes every morning and night before bed since I watched it. I keep the dvd in my room to play when I start feeling like shit again. I've never listened to music this much in my life. I started working out to her music as well and worked out harder than I did before, which is odd because it's slow. I guess it was just inspiring. Oh and by the way, I have upped my treadmill speed 10 levels from when I first started and rarely cough anymore. I also found that when I DON'T have the TV on and only have my music blasting it's easier. Somehow the TV's too distracting and I use the treadmill as a type of meditation time. It helps me think about life and let go of stress....I never thought I'd say that. Thank god for music I say. It can do amazing things sometimes. I urge everyone to watch Adele's concert dvd here's a link. The dvd also includes her latest cd inside too. Not one song is bad. When her ENTIRE audience sing back to her "Someone like you," you'll get goosebumps. I know I'm ranting about this, but changed my life a bit.
