Ok, so I made it through another day- To be honest- the past few days I felt like doing nothing- I was really reclusive, but I don't think it had anything to do with my experiment- I think it's mostly worries about my life and career and the rut I seem to be stuck in. It's frustrating, but now I'm feeling pretty wired and energized after listening to a bunch of punk rock- or maybe it's the cinnamon stick tea I just had. IDK.
So overall- while I got a bit tense during my experiment and it was a struggle to continue to listen to positive music (I was mainly listening to the Tranquility Bass Radio on Pandora, feel free to check it out, it's quite soothing), it did have a relaxing effect on me.
But Overall, while listening to more calming music in general is helpful I've found, I still need to vent by listening to the occasional loud angsty metal/rock music.
