Everyone who is called a human has felt stressed at least a few times in a couple of days. This is because there are certain things which could not be solved instantly the way we want. Human beings are not able to control nature and sometimes we are swallowed by problems which we could not solve. As long as we live, there will be countless of times when we feel so stressed up and upset. This is due to the fact that we cannot grasp the truth that we are powerless to solve certain problems. Feeling stressed might lead us to several bad consequences. Therefore, it is a top priority to handle our stress well as it might bring harm to us.

  Different people have different way to release their stress. Certain people may choose listening to music as a way to solve this problem whereas there are people who find sleeping as the best way to cure stress. Listening to music is the best way to solve this issue. This is because music such as classical music will slow down the heart rate thus making us feel more relaxed. This type of music is also able to lower down blood pressure. Therefore, the risk of people getting high blood pressure could be lowered by listening to calming music. This is better than sleeping. By sleeping, we are only trying to run away from our problem. For instance, when we are awaked later, we still feel upset as we remember our past problems.

  In addition, music helps us to think better. Listening to music will give us the inspiration which we are so desperately in need of. When we feel inspired, even a big problem will seem to be small and it will give us the urge to solve it rather than running away from it. Music which gives us inspiration actually exists. For example, R.Kelly has sang a song titled “I Can Fly”. In this song, the singer said that he who one taught about his ability now believes that he believe he can fly and touch the sky. This shows that as long as we listen to an inspiring song, we will have more trust that we will make it through our obstacles and problems in life. Sleeping will eventually encourage us to feel scared and plant the fear to stand up again after our downfall.
