Yes, listening to my favorite song means recharging energy.

This is definitely true. Music is like medicine to soul. It can lift you up anytime. Different kinds of music can put you in different mood. It’s like natural therapy.

Music and mood go hand in hand there’s real science behind that. Listening to upbeat tunes can boost your dopamine, help reduce stress, and even improve your workout performance. On the flip side, mellow or sad songs can help you process feelings when you’re upset. Personally, I default to energizing beats in the morning but when I’m feeling reflective, soft acoustic songs set the right tone.

I totally agree. Yes, music is a mood shifter and stress buster. Besides sharing with others, we can listen to music; it calms and relaxes us.

Music has its own way of bringing emotions back to rhythm.

Yes absolutely, music is a great stress reliever.

The [Iso-principle]is a tool that matches a music listening experience to a current mood or emotion and then gradually shifts to music that represents a desired mood or emotion. If you want to listen to a song that you pair with anger or sadness, go ahead, but don’t let it repeat too many times. Move on to music of the mood you desire. A music playlist that gradually moves from uncomfortable emotions to comfortable ones can be a healthy coping strategy and facilitate a positive mood change.Active music-making positively affects such as dopamine and serotonin, that influence mood. Dopamine influences focus, concentration, memory, sleep, mood and motivation. Likewise, serotonin impacts mood, sleep patterns, anxiety and pain. Active music-making can involve [singing], playing an instrument or creating music electronically. Making music, specifically singing in a group, helps us feel connected to other people because of the production of the hormone oxytocin. Singing synchronizes breathing patterns to promote relaxation and reduce the hormone [cortisol] “the stress hormone.”

Music can indeed transform our mood. I love listening to ’90s songs. I don’t prefer loud music; I prefer melodious tunes.

Music really does have that magic touch. A happy song can lift my mood in seconds, and a calm tune helps me unwind after a long day. It is like having a friend who always knows what to say without speaking.
