Relaxing onself - Cheshana Chawla



Normally all of us are caught up in our own lives being worried, we have tight deadlines or we are under stress. many people  realize that sometimes doing something they like can be soothing and relaxing at times I have finally come to a conclusion that playing the piano is relaxing and soothing for me.
Firstly, I am a person who loves playing the piano when I am angry.
 Once, when I was younger my friends and I were playing in the rain like always, during the monsoon. We splashed water on each other and used our umbrellas as shields like captain America. I have lived here (my house ) for most of my life well I moved here when I was 11 months old. So y friends know me very well, they know that I hate it when my friend team up against me. I didn’t ask for it but that’s what happened this time. They splashed a lot of water on me knowing that provokes me, also knowing that I am a moody person.
   They splashed and splashed water on me and they would not stop. so I decided to walk away. Fully drenched. Once I got home, I changed and didn’t know what to do except for sneezing. Later my mom came up to me by hearing the amount of sneezes. She asked me “what’s wrong “  well I like I said before I am a  moody person and  was not in the mood of answering my mom’s question. well I need to show respect to my mom so I decided to tell my mom that “ my friends and I just fought” I said. my mum said “every friend fights. infact that’s how friendship gets stronger” I was terribly board and also in a bad mood. My mum knew that too so she told me to practice the piano. I didn’t want to play the piano. But doing something is better than doing nothing. So I decided to play the piano actually saying it helped me calm down, helped me think about how I could have deled with the problem and after all gave me practice of playing the piano.
Secondly, I like playing the piano when I am worried. This helps me calm down, and improve my work content also while saying this it reminds me of an adage ‘worrying  is a total waste of time. It does not change anything. All it does is it steals your joy and keeps you busy doing nothing’ so instead I prefer playing the piano when I am worried because it gives me time to plan ahead.
Not too long ago. It was just another day at school but something felt wrong. I am the person who remembers that they forgot something but don’t know what it is. I ignored the feeling. By the end of the day nothing wrong had happened. “Now L2” I thought to myself tired, what can go wrong? It once my teacher entered the class we all took our seats “guys. I got your papers with me and I am disappointed by the result” only 1 person in class has got ‘A’ my teacher said. we all were shocked. For all I knew this was what was wrong? I hoped the one person with the ‘A’ was me. I doubted it was me because this was my first French paper ever. I started to get goose bumps all over me and I had literally turned pale. My friend asked me what’s wrong. i wasn’t in the mood to answer the question so I simply nodded. i blinked and kept my eyes closed for a second and the next moment the paper was in front of me turned the other way round turned it around and my marks were terrible once i got home I was terribly disappointed that I had no idea what to do, I sat there without uttering a word ,I am a person who talks 24x7. I decided to play the piano because I knew that it helps me, makes me think about my mistakes and how I can improve. So that’s what I did, it helped me and share my grades with my mom.
Finally, its not not only me who feels that doing something you like can be helpful during stressful situation. It might seem silly that my best friend is really young than I am, but we go well together as friends since we both have a lot in common like we both love playing the piano, we both love football, we both love English . we both have so much in common that it would take me pages to write about them. anyway that’s not related to this. She also feels the same way about doing something that you like when you’re under stress, worried or out of ideas. Well after all it’s not only me who feels this way but my friend too.
To conclude , I think I am a person who loves playing the piano helps me concentrate, Improve my work content and gives me time to think about ahead.
