When you hear the phrase self-care, what pops into your head? Bubble baths? Yoga mats? Journals stacked high on a nightstand?

For me, music has always been part of the conversation. But lately I’ve been wondering... is live music really self-care?

So at Party in The Park (put on by The BLOX), I set up a booth with a sign that read:
“Live music isn’t self-care. Change my mind.”

And then I hit record.

In this video you’ll hear:

• Why people see live music as more than entertainment
• The difference between joy, escape, and true self-care
• Surprising takes from festival-goers on music & wellness
• How community, connection, and care all overlap

What do you think? Do you consider live music self-care? Shoot me a message via any of my channels and let me know.
