Getting around Emotions

Emotions are an odd thing. Of course they can be wonderful and make your life worth living....but there are some emotions...these nasty buggers that pull you down and make you feel TERRIBLE!
Thank God there are ways to get out of the deep place some of these emotions pull you into.
Probably the two most common an helpful ways are MUSIC an FOOD, MUSIC definitely being the better choice, since it doesn't cause the need for larger clothes. Definitely a saint to all students because clothes are EXPENSIVE and you wanna LOOK GOOD. "Haha"s from me there.
It is absolutely INSANE  how music can influence your mood. Certain songs take you out of one mood and put you in another and others just help you let it all out and then go on with your life.
When I am disappointed in someone or angry, one artist seems to get me. All I need to do is listen to "Build a Bridge" by Limp Bizkit. The slow verse soothes me and then in the loud chorus I just let it all out--the lyrics speaking for them-self. AMAZING! Helped me through rough times.
Also a problem maybe many of you could know: Not getting your ass of the darn couch!
Best thing you can do? Listen to electronic music with a fast beat and a loud bass. Not matter if you rather go for Dubstep , Drum and Bass or House. As long as it gets you groovin' and on your feet.
Perfect example: "Down the Road" by C2C. Try not to be motivated and in a great mood when listening to this GREAT song by four DJs making ART.
Even when needing clarity about choices music seems to help out. Ever tried listening to an epic song when you are torn between two options? Where to study was one of these choices where music helped out. HOW? Oh well that was quite simple. I chose a song which makes you feel alive. What song better to chose than "Alive" by Chase and Status? Totally creative...I know. But when I listened to it and let the different cities go through my head, my heart started beating like CRAZY when I thought about Hamburg!  Intuition? I don't know and I don't care. All I care about is, that it was the right choice. HURRAY!
Or do you know that feeling when it is raining and cold and ALL YOU WANT is to feel as chilled as you are at the beach with friends on a summer day ? I know how to at least mentally get you there: "Into the Sea" by Sivert Höyem (Sonny Alven Remix). ENJOY!

Of course I am not saying, that music is the solution to all your emotional problems...but a piece of chocolate and a great song might make things seem a bit brighter.
But MOST IMPORTANT of all is: Go to someone you can talk do and don't be ashamed of seeking the help you need. Real friends will have an open ear. It isn't right to be left alone with your problems...that is a burden nobody should carry. 


Stay crazy and enjoy your life!
