  • I’ve been using ear plugs for live music both as listener and performer for ages. I consider them essential.

    They can even improve listening quality. For years while going to concerts I thought that speakers have problems at venues due to always hearing high pitched noise, usually on guitars. It turns out it was basically sound of my ears screaming that it’s to loud. Problem disapeares with ear plugs.

    I sometimes take them off during the concert wanting to hear things louder and regret it in an instance :)









  • For me it’s trying to get to the bottom of the reason why I feel a certain way. If I manage to logic myself out of the initial heavy torrent of emotions I can usually talk myself down if I feel it’s destructive.

    So just thinking about those emotions but not in a way that amplifies them. If I’m angry at someone I would try not to think more reasons why what that person did is wrong but more in the direction of why do I feel angry for them doing that.

    If I manage to see my state in such a objective manner I’m able to just decide to stop feeling this way. Often I realise that feeling those emotions, even the negative ones, just feels good and even though I can stop I prefer not too. But at least it’s a choice.
