I am rocking out to a 90s playlist on Spotify right now and it feels so good! Music has been so influential in my life as of late. I feel like I’m really enjoying it again. As a music teacher, music sometime s has bogged me down. I needed a break from it and I’ve missed just enjoying music. Also, I think when I turned 30, the 90s suddenly became like the best thing ever…is this a 30s thing where the era you grew up in becomes the best, or is it just me?
Things are looking up. The sunshine and warmth has finally hit NYC and it has greatly improved my spirits. It’s helped my students too. It was a really cold, dreary winter this year and it really effected everyone negatively. I’m feeling better at work and like I can show my face again. My stress levels have gone down immensely and my eczema is even getting better. Damn that shit gets bad when I’m stressed out! I even started my franchise back up and am starting to feel more confident in my ability to make some money off of it.
Saturday I had my monthly massage (a life changing decision for sure! Highly recommend checking out massage envy). I saw a new therapist who was super chill and professional and also a musician (saxophone and clarinet I believe). I dunno I had a great connection with him and a good conversation and it really helped pull me fully out of my funk. I was seriously thinking I needed to go speak to a therapist and get on medication for anxiety (I basically had been shaking like a chihauhau for 2 months and was having very negative thoughts and didn’t want to leave my house, but had to out of necessity). Something about having the stress pushed out of my muscles and some things the therapist said just changed my thought patterns. I can’t even explain it. I’m just glad it happened and I’m out of my rut!
My spring concert are at the end if the month. My Glee club and rock bands are performing in front of Lincoln Center in 3 weeks. My chorus is heading to American Young Voices on June 8 and then the end of the year will be here. Trying to end on a strong note and power through to the end if the year. We’re almost there! I can’t wait.
Later everyone.
