What do you listen to while you work?

So appropriate

I used to love music and love dancing, the trouble was I always had to listen while the people I lived with were out, and dance alone. That kind of kills something in you over time.

In common with all parents mine didn’t like my modern raucous taste…The Osmonds. My ex always played his music when he was in, classical, so my love of music got squeezed and squeezed until I only listened in the car.

One of the most infuriating moments of my life was when The Osmonds switched to country music, we visited my parents one day to be told that I really should listen to The Osmonds as they were a fantastic band with amazing voices. That’s the closest I’ve ever come to life imprisonment without parole.

Getting older

As I’ve got older I’ve learned to let go of so much that used to upset me and concentrate on what doesn’t. I still prefer to listen to my music in the car where I don’t have to worry that I’m disturbing others. I didn’t used to enjoy driving, so that actually helps. Ooh…car journey…isolation…music…bad singing!

You can make most things work in your favour.

But the beauty of the crone-age – older, wiser, refusing to be hurt anymore, rebelling at last, doesn’t give a sh*t – is that if I want to listen to my music I will, if I want to dance round the supermarket, I will, my sister and I once danced round an antique market in Frome and were told we were a joy to watch and an inspiration. I just don’t care.

I know what I think of me. I know why I love my music. Rude opinions carry a health warning! Plus my hearing aids are effectively speakers so I listen when I walk and yes I dance up the paths.

Things I forget

When it comes to what I should listen to when I work, that’s Barry Manilow. Slipping into the esoteric here, all voices carry a vibration and his is spectacular. I know people roll their eyes at his name but remember the health warning 🤣. It applies ten-fold here.

Seriously, that’s a beautiful soul with an uplifting resonance that reaches inside you and heals. He is so much more than a singer. I can’t sing, but when I listen to him I can. seriously. When I listen to him I’m transported back to an energy that produced one book and thousands of poems, dozens of articles, several plays, one of which was very well received.

So that’s who I should listen to whilst working.

I’ve got the music in me, off to find out where I left it…anyone got a Time Machine they can lend me?

Happy listening

I'm a writer, public speaker, medium, and spiritual thinker. I suffered from acute anxiety from the age of 16 until I was well into my 50s, when I finally found methods that helped me to put it behind me. My struggles led to me exploring life through poetry, then plays, and over a 15 year period I made notes for a self help book which I published in 2015. Details on the book page. Although I am a psychic medium and loved the work, it didn’t feel right for me. It was an utter privilege, but my path was the exploration of what it means to be spirit in the real world and how we can make practical use of those abilities. Nowadays I write, blog, and teach soul-centred living, which is a gentle way of undoing past programming and connecting to your essential self, or soul. If you’re interested email me and we can chat. No pressure, it’s right for you or it’s not and you will know. The groups meet on line so no going out on cold, wet, winter’s evenings. On a personal note, I’m based in the UK. Married with five cats, no children, and four grandchildren, thanks to our inherited daughter, who has gifted us four beautiful little people that bring us such joy. Hope you enjoy the blogs. Deb xx

  1. Deb, that is truly so upsetting. When I was on late duty, I’d arrive home, probably tired and a little irritable only to plead with mum and dad to lower the volume whilst listening to Status Quo! We would have one evening a week totally dedicated to ‘Neil Diamond’, I still own all his vinyl LP’s. Fortunately, music was loved from Puccini to the Jackson 5 and most in between. As you know, music is my life, music and animals and, I’m away with the fairies. 💖💖🎼🎼👍
