surround yourself with positive sounds

In our busy lives we have so much noise it is hard to remember some sounds are harmful and others are soothing to us. It is hard to quiet it down. When dealing with trauma/stress it helps to make sure you have sounds you like that are soothing to you or make you happier. This could be a favorite singer, meditation or nature sounds or even a comedian. Try to plan on it once a day at a time you can listen and enjoy. At other times shut the noise off. Turn off TV radio etc. You may be surprised to hear your own breathing (and what it may sound like with the stress). Just some ideas.
