Want To Feel Better?

Want To Feel Better?

Music has the remarkable ability to lift our spirits due to several interconnected factors:

Neurochemical Responses: When we listen to music, our brain releases various neurotransmitters and hormones that contribute to positive emotional experiences. One of these chemicals is dopamine, which is associated with pleasure and reward. Music stimulates the brain's reward centers, leading to the release of dopamine and creating a sense of enjoyment and uplift your spirits.

What does this mean to the layperson?

Rather than use illicit drugs, alcohol, food, or any assortment of addictive/escapist behavior, you can get the same buzz by listening to music. What’s more is if the music is associated with a positive emotional memory the simple act of listening to a specific piece of music will change your brain chemistry.

This isn’t rocket science. This isn’t difficult to understand. All that is needed is to listen with intent (by choosing music that you know will make you feel better and/or trigger a positive memory).

➡️ If you want to lift your spirits, listen to music.

More music. Feel Better.
