Study finds music eases stress for most By Grant McCool

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Listening to music is what most people do to ease stress, with watching television a close second, according to a global study released Tuesday.

``Today, we believe music's ubiquity and increasing portability make it the No. 1 stress buster,'' said Tom Miller, director of the study by Roper Starch Worldwide, which found that 56 percent said music minimized stress.

Watching TV at 53 percent was the next most popular way of easing stress, followed by taking a bath or a shower at 49 percent in the study, which covered 30 countries.

Two weeks ago the New York-based marketing, public opinion, advertising and media research group published the first part of its ``Global 2000 Consumer Study'' showing that all over the world, women suffer more stress than men, especially full-time working mothers with children under age 13.

``When you think of music's cost and its availability via radio, TV, personal CD players, the Internet and so many other new channels of individualized distribution and communication, it's not surprising that more than half the world listens to music to relax,'' Miller said.

Roper Starch Worldwide said the study in Europe, North America, South America, Asia and one country each in Africa and the Middle East was based on interviews with 1,000 consumers in each country. It said the study is projectable to 1.39 billion people and has a sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points for each country.

The interviewees were asked which activity out of 24 they prefer to minimize or release stress. Music ranked highest for North America (64 percent) and lowest for developed Asia (46 percent).

NO TIME TO PRACTICE??  READ THIS:

Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with $86,400.  It carries over no balance from day to day.  Every evening it deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day.

What would you do?  Draw out every cent, of course!

Each of us has such a bank.  Its name is TIME.
Every morning it credits you with 86,400 seconds.
Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest with good purpose.
It carries over no balance.  It allows no overdraft.
Each day it opens a new account for you.

Each night it burns the remains of the day.
If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours.
There is no going back.
There is no drawing against against the "tomorrow".
You must live in the present on today's deposits.
Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness, and success!
The clock is running.  Make the most of today.
To realize the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade.
To realize the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby.
To realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realize the value of ONE  DAY, ask a daily wage laborer with kids to feed.
To realize the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realize the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who missed the train.
To realize the value of ONE SECOND, ask a person who just avoided an accident.
To realize the value of ONE MILLI-SECOND, ask a silver medalist in the Olympics.
Treasure every moment you have!  And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time.
And remember that time waits for no one.
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift....that's why it's called the present.
