Music.

Music is the best therapy for me. If there's ever anything going on in my life that gets me down or gets me stressed out there's always some song that just makes me feel better or has lyrics about what I'm going through, and it just makes me feel better. It makes me feel like someone else has obviously been through the same thing and made it through ok, and then the lyrics really start to sink in and help me out in what I'm going through. But then there's sometimes that listening to music can do the exact opposite and you hear a song that could just bring you down so much more than you already were.....like if you are going through a break up and hear a song that makes you think of the person that broke your heart, it can just make you feel so much more down about everything.

You could look at the same thing with the people around you giving you advice and all in your life. There's sometimes that when you are going through something in your life and friend's try to give you advice to help you out and it really helps, and then there's other times that it can just be the wrong thing for you to hear and make you feel so much worse. And sometimes when someone tells you something that makes you feel worse, it may not even be true.

Not saying that you shouldn't listen to your friends, because we totally should! There are people that have experience in different parts of life than me and if I'm going through something I totally want to hear what they have to say, I just have to be careful and see if it is really something that is going to help my life or not.

The best advice I get is from my bible. It never fails that I can find something in there that completely helps me with situation's I am going through at times and honestly the internet helps out a lot because you can go type in keywords in Biblegateway.com and it will bring up verses to help encourage you and bring you up.

I haven't been to good at reading my bible as of late and I need to work on that a lot. I need to make my bible more of one of my best friends and be in it every day. Going into God's word can help me understand situation's better and get ton's of encouragement that is much needed. Again not saying I don't need to go talk to my friends and get feedback from them, because going to friends is very important to get through tough situations, but we should make our bible and Jesus a best friend of ours to go to in tough times in our lives.

Getting in God's word makes us closer to Him and it also gives us encouragement to help us in tough situations.

Music was a pretty random title for this blog......haha.
