Music Re-evaluation
This week I had an eye opening experience. I have spent so many years listening to and loving music. This week I felt an unusually stronger determination to stop listening to music that uses a large amount of profanities. I of course happened to find these two songs that have a really good groove to them, but they are quite crass. At first, I thought nothing of it and kept listening to them and enjoying them. Then one day, while thinking about the power of words and media and I started to feel unsettled about the songs. To be honest, I don't think I am at a point yet where I can say that I will totally abandon these songs all together but I am participating in the 10- day media fast. So these songs will have to go and this will be my experiment to see how my spirit and mental pathways or behaviors are affected as I try to filter out songs that use such harsh language. I am willing to give it a try and see.

Way to go adding those songs to your media fast. That's really hard! I've also been "clean sweeping" my music with kind of a zero-tolerance mentality and it's been really difficult. But I have noticed a difference! Kudos for giving it a try.
ReplyDeleteMusic definitely has an impact on our spirits. Way to recognize its influence and include the songs in your media fast. I think you will find blessings!
ReplyDeleteI think that's awesome! General Conference has also provided me a time of self-reflection to determine what could be better in my life. My social media fast has made me more aware of those things. Good luck with the rest of your experiment!
