I have different reasons:

It gives energy if i currently lack some.

It can take my thoughts off of things that I struggle with.

It can sooth me if my thoughts are to chaotic so that i cannot think straight.

It can help me get through tough mind states by somewhat accompanying me through what I feel and work through it.

​

And last but not least: to enjoy the music and appreciate the musicianship :)

Thanks, For the situations you've described, do you tend to listen to music you know, or explore new music?

For the first two it can be something i just found or when i'm under the impression that i need something else then what i usually listen to, I'll try something else.

For the last two it normally are songs that i know, because it gives me a familiar feel and there is safety in that familiarity when my mind is to chaotic.
