Driving in silence

I always had to listen to some kind of music while driving but for the past couple of months I've been driving in complete silence. I've been telling myself it's just my preferences are changing and I don't mentally feel any different but is this a sign of something?

Yeah it's a preference for silence.

@PatKirby I feel the silence helps me think

It does, same here. I brings me down to earth in preparation for walking into work

@PatKirby I feel music just numbs my brain and not in a good way. At home relaxing listening to music is one thing but it doesn’t relax me while driving anymore

@SW-User You want to increase your IQ? Listening to classical music has been proven to raise IQ levels by 5-10%.

@PatKirby I didn’t know that. That’s very interesting!

It opens up the other side of the brain to accept new stimulus. Don't get me wrong, music has its place. When I need a good boost while pumping iron in the gym, heavy metal motivates me big time to break new barriers. Likewise, when I need to be reminded there is goodness in the world...

If that doesn't lift your spirits I don't know what will. 😆
