Whenever you’re happy, sad, excited, or even in love, you can find a song to describe how you feel. Songs can remind you of certain instances in your life and, in many cases, can make you feel better. So, let’s leave the stress behind because listening to music can help us feel better every morning, and here’s why.
Improves Brain Hormones
If you don’t wake up and listen to music every morning, you’re missing out. Music is good for your mental well-being, and it’s healthy to listen to it every morning to improve cognitive function by increasing the neurotransmitter dopamine. As a result, we’re happier, excited, and it generally influences our behavior.
Makes us Happier
Didn’t you ever listen to music and instantly felt better? Studies have shown that music helps improve our mental health and makes us feel better. At least 99% of people feel calmer and more content after listening to music. That’s why listening to music in the morning can help improve the start of your day.
Lowers Cortisol Levels
Are you stressed out? Then your cortisol levels must be higher than usual. That means it’s time to take a break to breathe and relax. Anything that helps lower this steroid hormone will help, and few studies have shown that music has a psychological response to decreasing stress. So put your headphones on and relieve your stress with some music.
Boosts the Immune System
Just like an apple a day, listening to music every morning helps keep the doctor away. We now know that music helps lowering cortisol levels, which can mean less stress and anxiety, but do we know the less stressed we are, the better it is for our immune system? Researchers found that listening to music you love will increase the production of antibodies boosting the immune system.
Enhances Creativity
Studies have shown listening to music helps enhance creativity. It does make sense since music improves cognition and learning, so why wouldn’t it help with creativity as well? Creativity is needed in businesses; they can help in problem-solving, in social relationships, etc. So, by simply listening to music every morning, you get the chance to feel better and be more creative during your day. Other studies have shown it highly depends on the type of music you’re listening to.
The question remains, why shouldn’t you listen to music? If it’s going to make you feel better, then what are you waiting for? Start your day feeling better than ever with your favorite music playlist and let go of any anxiety and stress to boost your immunity.
