Can you ever
have too much music?
00:00:05.40\00:00:07.74
Well granted, it's
hard for me to admit this
00:00:07.77\00:00:10.51
but yes, it's true.
00:00:10.54\00:00:12.37
We all need a balance
of input output and rest.
00:00:12.41\00:00:16.34
This is true for our
bodies and our minds.
00:00:16.38\00:00:18.75
Since music so profoundly
affects our entire person,
00:00:18.78\00:00:21.98
we need a balance here too.
00:00:22.02\00:00:23.72
Let me suggest a way to
use music throughout your day
00:00:23.75\00:00:26.82
for a healthy balance.
00:00:26.86\00:00:28.36
First, receive music, listen
to it, let it be a part of
00:00:28.39\00:00:32.39
tuning you up for the day ahead,
giving you mid-day breaks,
00:00:32.43\00:00:35.33
or evening relaxation.
00:00:35.36\00:00:37.03
Don't fall into the
trap of background music.
00:00:37.07\00:00:40.40
Secondly, create music,
voice yourself through humming,
00:00:40.44\00:00:44.87
creating tunes,
playing an instrument,
00:00:44.91\00:00:46.71
or expressing yourself
in body movement to music.
00:00:46.74\00:00:49.34
And then third, rest.
Allow the mind to be still,
00:00:49.38\00:00:53.82
and center itself and prepare
for greater understanding
00:00:53.85\00:00:56.58
and creativity.
00:00:56.62\00:00:58.15
I'm Jennifer
LaMountain reminding you
00:00:58.19\00:00:59.85
God has created each one
of us with a musical mind.
