30 DAYS NO MUSIC CHALLENGE

I'm like at almost 2 days , I didn't give in, there where times where my mind says, just give up, why go for such a big challenge, go easy mode but I was like, there is a chance and here I am

 

I'm now on day 8 of no music and still haven't got any urges to listen to even though I get music lyrics daily playing in my head.

 

I want to know whether listening to music while updating/posting or while eating is considered relapse or not (in easy mode)

 

day 3

 

so update , my brain is feeling brain dead and begging for music, but I resisted, did some meditation still brain dead but when I went to do my workout, I felt good and I'm still about to do my cold shower,

 

I failed back to day 0, today I was again feeling brain dead and I was emotional sensitive which made me grave in and my subcounses mind didn't like listening to it and I noticed after a while it didn't help me, this was bad,

 

I'm on my 10th day and I haven't really had a chance to think about music since I've been busy with university stuff

 

yo I don't know which mode I shall go, I see this as the hardest challenge ever, the hard mode and I like it, but right now I am in some pain and music helps me make them emotions busy

 

great explanation.
i listen to music too but imo it is not as great a thing as people make it out to be. and listening to music while exercising or doing something else stops a person from being mindful of what he is doing.

 

I'm on my 14th day and I feel like it has got easier for me. Also haven't had any music playing in my head for like 2 days

 

there has been some research linking music to depression though at this point they are not clear wether music causes depression or people with depression are more likely to binge on music.
i feel that both the assertions are true - excessive consumption of music can lead to depression ( through the same mechanism as porn ) and if a person is depressed they are more likely to binge on music ( for the dopamine hits ) and it can become a bad cycle.
having said that, i think playing a musical instrument is not as bad as listening to an endless playlist of every kind of music available on earth.
i think playing an instrument can be compared to sex while the music in your ipad or smartphone is much like masturbating to porn.
but its best to avoid both while rebooting.

 

Oh you are Krewella fan, now i understand why you trying to stop.

 

This method can be applied on anything, even on your beloved football. Music gives us positive energy.
