From the research I did this week, I was astonished to discover that music has its advantages on both our body and mind. If you mentally feel unwell, listening to music may lead you to a peaceful mindset for many reasons.
The first reason being that listening to music can improve overall well-being. Music can help regulate emotions, and create happiness and relaxation in everyday life. Listening to ‘relaxing’ music has also been shown to decrease stress and anxiety in healthy people. Many studies have shown that music can boost mental and physical stimulation. Mental and physical stimulation is doing activities which enriches the mind and body.
Also research has shown that the elements of songs ( e.g rhythm and melody ) help our brains form patterns that enhance memory. In a study of stroke survivors, listening to music helped them experience more verbal memory and better focused attention. It also help lessen anxiety and improve your physical abilities to do exercise. Music helps in expressing your emotions. For example creating music as simple as making lyrics can make it easier to process your own emotions.
Music therapy has also been used to help enhance better communication and is being recommended by numerous health professionals. It also assists with coping with feelings such as fear, loneliness and anger. It has been proven that music releases mood enhancing chemicals into our body which music therapists can grasp onto help in the medical treatment of patients. Music therapy has been getting a lot of praise as it has shown positive results from professional health institutions. As you can see music has many benefits as it may assist in abolishing challenges or hardships that we may face.
