My daily work routine is little bit different,I work in shifts and i often get stressed out due to change in shifts and unable to cope up with stress. I often listen to music like classical and instrumental.But is there any other kind of music that we can listen to get rid of stress.

haa listening to classical music is good but try listening to any melody music which has more pleasantness in it rather than any rough drum beats or like that....

I really depends on why I'm stress. I generally just listen to rock or alternative. I'm always listening to music so I don't get stress to much. It always good to put in a cd or listen to the radio to make the tension go away faster. :)

It depends on how I'm feeling outside of the stress, really. Sometimes, I prefer to listen to really happy, upbeat music that will make me dance around and forget my worries that way. Other times, when I'm in a mood where I prefer to wallow in the stress, I'll listen to very angry music, like screamy metal. Listening to classical music is also a good solution, as it will tend to relax you in a different way. But usually when I'm stressed, it's because I have to much to get done, so I prefer music that will keep me moving, one way or another.

Soft rock....something that is soothing. I especially like Elton John to listen to....or even a instrumental like Yanni.

try listening to enya and some chill-out music.and if you're religious, try listening to don moen's albums. although slow pop and R&B songs are good to listen to as well when you're stressed.

Pop or dance music or anything with a beat or words, then you can either dance your cares away or have a top of your voice sing, that is what I do, and I always feel better. Failing that I go outside with a coffee and a ciggie and that works just as well for me, but not everyone smokes so it will not work for everyone.

Soft rock I suppose haha. Personally, I like to listen to grunge and hardcore/screamo types of music. Though, sometimes that can get you really pumped and your adrenaline going so I dont know how well it is for "getting rid of stress" .. But I would think hard rock and metal type of music is good to get rid of stress..

whenever I'm stressed out I listen to either instrumental music (usually Kenny G) or gospel music. It just gives me a sense of tranquility and suddenly I'm calm again. :)

Have you tried subliminals? It's relaxing. Also, if one listens to it while sleeping, they say it can modify one's behavior.
