For me, depending on the circumstances:
- Beer
- Coffee
- A hot bath (don’t hate)
Cold beer or glass of wine and music…sometimes listening or, when really stressed, playing piano or guitar while singing, all badly I must admit…and the singing usually requires more than one adult beverage.
Music is really a part of everything in my life really. I use it to:
- Wake up
- Get energized
- Relax
- Express my mood
- Concentrate
- Distract myself
- Fall asleep
If I am not playing it I am listening to it. If I am not listening to it it’s playing in my head
