To relax during the day

Lately I have been starting my listening day with an opera of Mozart's followed by a piano recital of Mozart's piano sonatas.
It takes eight hours to listen to all this, and by then my mind is completely composed and relaxed. I find that if I choose a non-Mozart opera to begin with, and is neither "The Marriage of Figaro" or "Cosi fan Tutte" my mind becomes on edge and I am discontented.
It is allright to play an opera by Verdi, Puccini or Donizetti after tha t initial eight hours but not before. I find that the visualisations on the computer screen also relax me.
The music plays all day and can go from at least ten hours to fifteen maybe more depending on how early I get up.
