When I listen to music I often find myself in a much better mood.Of course the degree of uplift I experience often depends on the quality of what I listen to. Hopefully music’s ability to positively effect emotional states will become a technique we see used more and more.
I can relate to the stresses of feeling overworked, it sounds like you have a good network of social support to call on when needed. One of the great thing about getting together with friends is the mutual benefit from the interactions.
It’s interesting how opportunities arise to help others if only we pay attention to them.Listening to your friend and helping with a problem sounded like it was truly comforting and restorative for both of you.Perhaps reflecting on your success(es) with solution finding will help mitigate some of the negative self talk you mentioned you were experiencing.
