Breathe: The Stress Less Podcast

Beating the Blahs & Finding Joy in Learning Something New — with Grammy-Nominated Violinist Joseph Christianson #176


Listen Later

Do you ever find yourself feeling stuck — when your days all start to look and feel the same?

One of the hidden stressors we often overlook is emotional stagnation. When our brains aren’t being challenged with fresh experiences, our emotional well-being dips — to stress or low mood.

In this special episode, I sit down with Grammy-nominated violinist and teacher Joseph Christianson to explore the soul care power of music and learning something new. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why learning something new can help you break out of emotional stagnation and feel more joy
How music combines creativity, mindfulness, and joy to refresh your spirit
A simple technique from Joseph to overcome perfectionism and embrace learning with joy
A practical soul care challenge to boost your joy

 Breath Prayer:
 Inhale: I will sing a new song to you
Exhale: I will make music to you

 Scripture:
 “I will sing a new song to you, O God; I will make music to you.”  Ps.144:9
