Little Things Can Make A Real Difference
The other day I was messing around with the settings on my phone. I realized my alarm sound is annoying so I scrolled through them all, looking for a better one.
I didn't like most of them, but I found one that's whimsical and chose that. I also turned down my ringer volume. It was a lot better to be awakened the next day by this new, happy tone.
It makes me feel like I'm in a silly movie and something funny is about to happen. In fact, music is practically narrative in movies sometimes, so why wouldn't it feel like that?
The thing is... It's so easy to get a tune stuck in your head. Even the 3-second jingle of a TV app opening up, could stick in your head all day... Well after I reset the tone, this alarm ringtone started popping into my head during the day and it was actually pleasant and up-lifting.
I had never thought about how much a little thing like the first sound of the day... could affect the rest of my day! It seems small, but there is something there.
Never again will I be awakened by that jarring, less-pleasant ringtone. This might be something others would like to try too, especially if they are apt to get into a funk occasionally.
It just goes to show how little things can sometimes make a big difference.
