Music is a great way to help you get rid of any negative thoughts. It’s really important that you change your mood in those first moments of negative thoughts. It will transform your life. Listening to soothing music when you’re just around the house doing things creates an incredible mood and sets the tone of the day.
If you’re in a bad mood, consider listening to music that makes you feel happy. The same thing happens when you listen to sad music. Listening to sad music makes you feel sad and can really depress you.
Here’s a sweet uplifting song by The Song Tailors that I just added to this playlist:
Music releases dopamine, and dopamine leads to pleasure.
When you listen to music, your brain releases dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that’s produced in the brain and helps control movement, emotion and critical thinking. It’s also involved with motivation, pleasure and pain.
When you hear something pleasurable — like a catchy song or an exciting sound — a burst of dopamine floods your body. This release makes you feel good, which is why we crave it so much when we hear something new or interesting.
The more you listen to music, the more your brain will crave dopamine. Over time, your brain will adjust its “pleasure” setting based on what it hears most often. This means that if you listen to sad songs over and over again, your brain will begin to expect sadness whenever it hears music.
So do yourself a favour, pick songs that have a more uplifting vibe.
I love this song ‘Step off the world” to change the mood of any room:
The right beats can help you get in a creative mindset.
Whether you’re an artist or not, music has a powerful effect on your mood. When you listen to a song, it can conjure up specific memories and emotions that make you feel energized or relaxed. In essence: Music helps shape your creative mindset by influencing how you feel.
It’s no surprise that some of the most popular songs are uplifting — and that’s because they work! The right tempo and tone can boost creativity by putting us in a positive mood where we’re more likely to think outside the box. So if there’s something weighing on your mind when trying to get creative, try listening to some upbeat tunes first before diving into any serious thinking.
The right music can also help you focus, which is especially useful when trying to tackle a complex problem. Studies have shown that listening to fast-paced music can improve your mental processing speed, while slower tempos tend to make us think more deeply about the task at hand — which can help us come up with novel solutions.
Music is a powerful tool that can help you achieve your goals. It can make you feel happier, more focused, and more creative. So next time you’re trying to get something done, try listening to some tunes first.
