Instrumental Music

                        



Introduction

In today’s fast-paced world, stress triggers seem to pop up everywhere, making it hard to find a moment of calm. I’ve found that listening to soft, soothing instrumental music is one of the best ways to unwind, especially when life feels overwhelming. 

My latest impromptu piece called Untitled really helps when it comes to stress relief. Alongside it, I’ve shared a relaxing video of a koala bear that I hope brings you the same sense of peace it brings me. 

Let’s explore how instrumental music can be a powerful tool for relieving stress and quieting the mind.

Releasing Stress through Music

Personally, I prefer to listen to soft and soothing instrumental music when I'm feeling stressed, because such music has the power to soothe my weary soul and relax my tensed-up muscles. According to an article on unr.edu, a slower tempo could quiet one's mind and relax one's muscles and thereby helps to relieve stress.

Instrumental Music

If you're like me, you'd probably go for instrumental music that's relaxing but short. Check out the following short instrumental piece here: Soft Instrumental Songs.

If you prefer to go to bed with long hours of soothing music, you might want to check out the following lengthy pieces:

1. Yellow Brick Cinema - Relaxing Music

To me, it seems rare to find lengthy instrumental music which is labelled as soothing or relaxing that really feels so throughout the entire piece. This piece is an exception, I think.

2. Tim Janis

When I found this live music video, it had already started playing for many hours and so I won't know if the music was soothing or relaxing prior to that. However, the approximately 30-minute part that I listened to was really soothing. 

Conclusion

Whether you’re looking to ease into a restful sleep or simply taking a break from a busy day, soothing instrumental music can be a wonderful escape. 

From short, calming pieces to hours-long playlists, there’s something for everyone seeking tranquility. I hope you find joy and relaxation in the music shared here.

Finding Light in the Darkness: Is Suicide the Answer to Life's Challenges?

Image
Introduction    Suicide is a topic that's close to my heart, because I'd contemplated about ending my life on numerous occasions in the past. Globally, suicide remains a silent crisis, affecting countless individuals and families. Despite the stigma, it’s crucial to have open conversations about it, especially because it often stems from mental health struggles that require understanding and compassion. How Prevalent is Suicide Globally? With over 700,000 people dying by suicide every year globally, this equates to one life lost every 40 seconds. ( https://www.who.int/health-topics/suicide#tab=tab_1 ) This number may be higher due to under-reporting caused by stigma surrounding suicide in many cultures.  ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_rate )  Suicide is one of the leading causes of death globally.( https://www.who.int/news/item/17-06-2021-one-in-100-deaths-is-by-suicide ) The global suicide rate is about 9 per 100,000 people, but it va...

5 Ways to Overcome Your Irrational Fears

Image
What is Fear? Fear is an emotional state that's evoked by threat of danger. And it's usually accompanied by physiological changes such as increased heart rate, as well as behavioural changes such as avoidance of fear-producing objects or situations. A certain amount of fear is necessary for our own good. That's healthy fear, as I'd like to call it. However, when it becomes irrational, it's no longer healthy and it could do us harm instead.  What is Irrational Fear?   Irrational fear is fear that isn't  situationally appropriate. In other words, it's out of proportion to the actual threat. And it can be a symptom of some mental health conditions , such as PTSD and panic disorder. According to the author of Conquering Fear, an overdose of fear can keep us perpetually tense, emotionally closed and paralysed to the point of inaction.   (Pg 24)  Do we want any of these? Obviously no, right? Therefore, it's important that we recognise signs of fear s...

How to Heal Emotional Trauma

Image
What is Trauma? Trauma is the emotional, psychological and physiological residue that results from heightened stress that accompanies experiences of threat, violence, and life-challenging events.   Types of Trauma Trauma can either be physical or emotional trauma. In the case of physical trauma, it's the result of a serious injury. There are two types of physical trauma: blunt-force trauma and penetrating trauma . In the case of emotional trauma, it can either be acute or chronic. Acute trauma is defined as "the emotional response that happens during and shortly after a single distressing event". And chronic trauma is defined as "a long-term emotional response to prolonged or repeated distressing events that span months or years" . Signs of Trauma Sometimes we may not even be aware that we're suffering from trauma. And sometimes we may think that we're healed when we're not. It could be because we've consciously or subconsciously buried it. So w...
