Hello everyone! I’ve been disturbed about something for the last few days, and wondered what you all thought.
So, I really love some heavy beat music (old rock, newer rock/pop and the like), I’m not someone who enjoys a really heavy beat, but some songs are just cool! Now, I’m not sure if this is normal or not, but my heart rate changes based on the beat of the music I’m listening to, so fast music can really get my heart pumping!
Enough for the back-story…the other day I was listening to a piece of music with a heavy beat and noticing how it got my heart rate up and how it sorta puts me on a “high”. The thought suddenly popped into my head, “this sure feels a lot like what an ex-alcoholic once told me drinking too much alcohol was like”. I really disturbed me; drugs or too much alcohol I, as a Christian, consider wrong. I’m getting the same feeling when I listen to a song with a heavy beat. Am I overthinking this, or is it something I should be concerned about? I wouldn’t think that it would be harmful to my body the way drugs would, and I’ve been careful not to let it become an addiction (as it very well could!) Is it something I should stop? I’d be happy for any input!
