Meditation Music: Soft Focus: Liquid Mind (7:25) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F6iMXz5jlc
Question: What is your go-to entertainment of choice?
Answer: Music. No questions asked. When I work out. When I work. When I meditate. I always have some type of music playing, whether it’s in the background or motivating me to step up my workout. For example, as I write this, I’m listening to the meditation music track listed above – and if I go longer, will usually pick another similar track to listen to. This morning when I went for my 8-mile walk/jog, I listened to a playlist of 600 songs, composed of a mix of 60’s music through music of today, including old hip-hop, country, Christian, jazz, hard rock, top 40 – and the list goes on. Great stuff to listen to, when it’s 5am, dark, and all alone. Makes the workout go a little bit faster. During the day while working, I typically play either new age or jazz, depending on the mood. Most times it’s jazz, since it’s a little more upbeat than new age. Music definitely soothes my soul. Other than that, I may watch a movie once a week and TV probably 2-3 hours a week. I’m of the mindset that if I’m going to spend an hour doing something mindless (like watching TV), I’d rather read and learn something new. I must admit, however, that every once in a while I’ll get on this binge and watch 5 to 7 episodes of Law and Order: SVU. Again, every once in a while, like every couple of months. Reading is my pleasure, providing me new opportunities to learn.
