Before listening to my music I was really calm sitting down on my bed. I tend to listen to music while I lay down or need some rest. For this assignment I did not listen to the music and graphed my feelings using the EFI feeling scale. I was surprised how high it was when I graphed my physical exhaustion. I believe it was high because I was really tired. After first completing my first EFI assessment I listen to my playlist. The graph was completely different this time. I was in a better and more relaxing mood before listening to the music. My tranquility went way up compared to before listening
