Music can also reduce stress, make depression more bearable and help you relax.All the benefits of music can only be got if the listener enjoys the music he is listening to. If the listener dislikes the music or finds it boring, it will have a negative effect on him instead of a positive one.Now lets examine what most of us do when it comes to listening to music. We usually just listen to a play list and allow a program to randomly (任意地) select the songs we are going to listen to.This is where the problem lies. What if you liked the first song but found the second one boring? What if the third one was a motivating song while the forth didnt suit your emotions? What do you think the result will be?What youll have is an emotional mess! The first song will lift your mood a little. The second will make you a little bored. The third will motivate you and then the fourth will put you down. In the end youll end up feeling worse than before.I strongly recommend dividing your play list into different small lists. For example, a list for relaxation, a list for motivation and so on. Another very important thing you must do is to get rid of all of the old music that you are bored of. Besides, dont listen to songs with negative words or messages.The music you listen to can delay your recovery from breakups (分手) by months and months! People who listen to romantic songs after breakups recover 10 times slower than those who dont. So be careful with your play list if you want to recover faster.1.

But you dont have to stay that way, and you shouldnt.You have to remind yourself to kick your shyness away and introduce yourself. Just a handshake will do. Ask the supervisor who hired you to introduce you around a bit. Thats the best way to make contacts. Then youll know what to do and say when you meet these people again.Dont do what my friend Sue did at her first job at Entertainment Weekly. “That is one of my biggest regrets: I hardly talked to anyone at all when I was there. I was scared and just thought people would talk to me first. For a long time, I was hung up on the thought that if someone was older, I respected them automatically. And even if someone started on Monday, and I started Tuesday, I just felt they had more experience. In the area I worked for four months, I hardly spoke to these people,” she said.“Of course, now I realize that was the most stupid thing. If I could do that again, Id remember that its so important not to feel shy about introducing yourself. Its not like you have to be very bold, ready to take over the place. Just introduce yourself and ask if there is anything you can do for them. That break the ice.”Sue believes that if she had introduced herself around a bit, there would be just no telling what other opportunities or what other acquaintances she might have now. Not that she regrets where she is now at all. But had she talked to more people at her first job, “maybe it would have helped me get somewhere sooner,” she said.11.
