I'm sure everyone has those songs they love to listen to when they're sad, in love, feel like dancing, need to focus, want to relax, anything that they can connect with. I've said it before but music is such a powerful influence! I thought it would be interesting to look at the effects it has on our brains.
The Benefits of Music
- reducing stress
- makes you happy
- alter your brain waves to elevate your mood
- motivation
This is only if it's used correctly. Music can also dampen your mood if you have a playlist on shuffle and the messages are conflicting or if there is negative wording. I think it's also important to listen to uplifting music that has good, wholesome lyrics. There is a ton of music that does not accomplish this and can actually be quite vulgar, which would obviously have a negative affect.
Music can also increase your memory skills, boost your immune system, improve your performance skills, fight fatigue, and induce sleep. Those are all awesome results!
Take a look at your music choices and evaluate how they are affecting you. Make the changes if necessary and enjoy feeling great and making improvement in your life!
