Finding Harmony: Music, Faith, and Life's Chaos
Episode Overview
Music can be a powerful tool for improving mood and mental health. Creating a positive environment is crucial for personal well-being. Faith and community can provide support during challenging times. Intentional living involves making conscious choices about what we consume. Reflecting on past experiences can offer valuable insights for growth.
"We need to bring in happiness, bring in joy, bring in prayer... things that are positive rather than negative."
What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? In this lively episode of 'Busy Living Sober,' Elizabeth Chance, known as Bizzy, shares her personal journey towards finding peace amidst chaos. With the recent loss of a friend to addiction, Bizzy explores how music, faith, and intentional living have become her ultimate mood boosters.
She reminisces about her past love for Joni Mitchell tunes, often accompanied by a cocktail or two, and contrasts it with her current choice of uplifting music and Gregorian chants to keep negativity at bay. Bizzy also delves into the significance of community and faith in her life. She reflects on the decline in church attendance over the years and how the pandemic has surprisingly brought people back to their spiritual roots.
With humour and candidness, she discusses her quirky habits like having crucifixes around her home and sleeping with a rosary under her pillow. The episode is a heartfelt reminder that what we surround ourselves with—be it music, media, or people—can profoundly affect our mental state. Bizzy's story is a call to action for listeners to change their environment positively and find solace in faith and community.
