Something really complex and powerful like Isis or Red Sparrows. Absorbs and relaxes me at the same time. (no cheesy pop or RnB for me! that would give me a PA!!)

Today is the music that's working for me is....Bach (JS): Magnificat - Esurientes Implevit Bonis
It varies so much day to day!!!!
Alanis Morisette gets me the most when I'm working through things.

Music Therapists are really good. They can really really help. It's a proven fact that music can help change your mood.

If you're down, you really shouldn't listen to downbeat songs. Even though it's probably the last thing you want to do, stick on something like Agadoo by Black Lace - that'll make you smile if nothing else will ;)

A lot of times I listen to a relaxation CD that talks you through relaxing your whole body. I also love to listen to YoYo Ma cello suites- very soothing and calming.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
