I used to listen to music all of the time also, but over the last 6 or so months have slowly weened myself off of it and feel great about my decision.
When I am in the car I pop in an audio tape of some sort, so that I can use my time wisely to learn. "Automotive University" as some call it.
I have been trying to calm my mind and think positively all this year and last, I have even done some meditating which I am experimenting with. I started to switch to calmer music, currently my favorite is Jack Johnson and baroque era classical music. I also love to listen to Opera every now and then...kind of a new thing. I try to pretend I can sing it when nobody is around also
I really only listen to music for a very short period of time when I do, as a kind of "ah neat" type of thing but I feel much better and my mind is clearer when I do not. I used to try to listen to classical when working, and that is okay but I think I do better without even that.
I think music is something in life to be enjoyed, such as grapes or strawberries...but there is no reason to overdo it. Everything in life taken in moderation becomes much sweeter I have found.
Currently I am fasting from food, and I am on day 6...you really start to gain some perspective on the world and what we really need. Anyway I am getting off topic here, but I think my point has been given.
