J.K. Rowling, the famous author behind the Harry Potter series, finds music “too distracting” while writing. When younge

“One of the things I do when I am starting a movie, when I’m writing a movie or when I have an idea for a film; is, I go through my record collection and just start playing songs, trying to find the personality of the movie, find the spirit of the movie. Then ‘boom’, eventually I’ll hit one, two or three songs or one song in particular, oh this will be a great opening credit song.” — Quentin Tarantino

It takes practice for habitual worriers to recognize when their mind has gotten stuck in a whirlpool of unhelpful words or self-talk. (Here again, mindfulness techniques can help.) But with time and training, people can escape from that whirlpool or avoid it in the first place. By activating different areas of the brain, pleasant mental imagery seems to help them do that.

Childhood experiences shape us, teenage drama leaves marks, and adult friendships make us even more aware of our shortcomings. We all have that estranged friend we miss, stupid words we wish we could take back, and embarrassing interactions we wish we could erase from our memories.

One of the first tasks Quentin does before ever sitting down to write a single word in a new script is finding the exact piece of music that fits what he wants the movie to be about.

Another thing that is always on my mind is the fact that, since I moved a lot, I’ve been terrible at keeping in touch with some of my friends. In fact, most of my friendships died because I never took the time to call people or reach out in any way. I’m fully guilty of this; even calling my family is a struggle, but that’s just the way I am. It takes effort to be sociable.

Lastly, when making new friends and finding someone who’s a good listener, I make it all about me. Even if I’m an introvert, I tend to talk too much, overshare, and burden the other person with my problems. Making friends is challenging at any age, and sometimes I feel like I’ve been so out of practice that I don’t even know how to behave anymore.

But friends will be friends, as the song goes, and it’s always good to know you can have someone to lean on. So cherish your friendships, nourish them, ask little, and give generously. One day you’ll look back and see all the lives you’ve touched, and your life will be enriched with meaningful connections.

These suggestions are in line with a lot of existing research. For example, spending time each week recalling positive memories has been shown to reduce stress and interrupt negative thoughts and feelings. Also, guided-imagery therapy, during which a person is instructed to imagine a certain place or setting in great detail, can also reduce anxiety. For a 2018 study in Frontiers in Psychology, people were guided through images of urban or nature settings. Both exercises led to significant reductions in anxiety, that study found.

Do you listen to music when you write? It seems that the majority of writers do. But the science behind you blasting Metallica while writing (as Stephen King used to do) is starting to say maybe you shouldn’t.

It isn’t. PHP is not dead. It isn’t dying and it isn’t reaching “end-of-life”. That’s it. No matter how much some people want it to go away, it isn’t going away. At least, not for a long time.

“Tasks that involve language processing or decision making need your attentional focus, and when you try to do two such tasks at the same time, you end up switching your attention back and forth.”

It’s easy to keep myself in a tight bubble with my husband, dog, and close relatives, but maintaining friendships and creating new ones, even if uncomfortable at times, can be very rewarding in the long run.
