What Is It About Music?

 

       What Is It About

             Music?

Hi Everyone I'm Dave B and thank you for joining me here for this week's blog.

It is possible that I might have mentioned this before in one of my previous posts but that said it is something that I am passionate about:-

MUSIC in its' many forms and styles.

Have you ever wondered why it is that music can be so evocative?

It is true that we only need to put on a piece of music and within a few moments a shift happens and we can soon find ourself somewhere totally different, for some it could be Paris, for some it could be in the middle of a field with a loved one.  For others it could be in the heart of a fairground......

No matter where it takes us, simply sitting and listening for just a few minutes can dissolve all the stresses and strains of every day life and there is no need to move anywhere.

This was brought home to me when I saw a comment that a friend had posted online.  She said that had been listening to piece of music and with just 5 minutes she was:-

"fully relaxed and recharged!"

It was this realisation that prompted me to study for a Music Therapy Diploma and then, once qualified to become a music therapist.

Music has the power to calm the furrowed brow, and a formidable quote from Hans Christian Andersen say it all for me.  He said

"Where words fail, music speaks!"

I whole-heartedly believe that music has no need of language it speaks through emotions.

So next time you feel pressured, stressed, or in need of relaxation instead of turning to questionable substances put on some music, close your eyes and let your imagination take you on a journey of discovery, 

You never know, you might enjoy it!

Such is the power of music!

Visions For Success #38 - "The Confident Friend"

Hi it's DAve

Welcome to today’s blog post from Altered Image Coaching....

As we continue the series of "Visions For Success" series I continue to maintain the commitment that I have made to you and also to myself!

That commitment forms part my Mission Statement and it is:-

"I will work to create these vision posts in the continued belief that they will make a difference to the people who read them!"  

So, with that said, here is post #38 which is called:-

The Confident Friend

Here is a list of items that are present and combine to create the person we know as a “Confident Friend” once you understand these points and put them into practice you too can be ranked as one of those people.

Spend your precious time with those you like - do not try to be liked by everyone!

Choose friends from all walks of life -  do not need everyone to be like you!

Be realistic - do not expect everyone to be like you!

Respect and value the differences - do not demand that everyone gets on well

together!

Know who can support you in times of difficulty

Accept that friends can say “no” and do not see that as a total rejection!

Realise that you too have the right to say “no” and to be independent / private

And finally

Be prepared to accept that some may wish to leave the relationship and move on!

Love and Light to you all

Visions For Success #37 - "Social Relationships"

 Hi it's DAve

Welcome to today’s blog post from Altered Image Coaching....

As we continue the series of "Visions For Success" series I continue to maintain the commitment that I have made to you and also to myself!

That commitment forms part my Mission Statement and it is:-

"I will work to create these vision posts in the continued belief that they will make a difference to the people who read them!"  

So, with that said, here is post #37 which is called:-

Social Relationships

There is a very strong link that joins happiness, health and good relationships together.  It is important to make an effort to understand the rules of each of the 3 elements!

Be prepared to make changes and modification to the relationship

Work to acquire knowledge that will help you improve and develop the relationship

Be prepared to modify you behaviour to improve the relationship

Be prepared to ask the other person to modify / alter their behaviour.

Acknowledge when there are problems within the relationship

Be prepared to ask for another person’s input to help manage a difficult situation

And finally

Be prepared to leave the relationship if the attempts to repair it have failed.

 

Love and Light to you all

Visions For Success #36 - "Being Aware Of Anger!"

Hi it's DAve

Welcome to today’s blog post from Altered Image Coaching....

As we continue the series of "Visions For Success" series I continue to maintain the commitment that I have made to you and also to myself!

That commitment forms part my Mission Statement and it is:-

"I will work to create these vision posts in the continued belief that they will make a difference to the people who read them!"  

So, with that said, here is post #36 which is called:-

Being Aware Of Anger

Anger is a natural reaction that we experience if we feel threatened or frustrated. 

It is the first emotion we experience and yet it is the last one we learn to manage effectively.

Human infants really begin to display anger as early as 4 months old and then, as we get older, we spend the rest of our lives denying it or suppressing it is as a troublesome emotion.

There are believed to be 2 types of anger and they are Destructive Anger and Healing Anger. 

Healing Anger is expressed when it arises - at who triggered it and the issue that triggered it.

Destructive Anger is expressed later and often gets connected with a cover up issue!

To control anger - Own your feelings, How angry are you? Why are you frustrated? Share it “I feel as though….etc!” Stamp your feet, slam a door etc.

If you feel you would like to discuss any of these points or to learn more please give me a call on the number shown below.

Love and Light to you all
