Turn Up the Tunes, Turn Down the Stress
THE SOUNDTRACK TO YOUR SANITY
SOUNDTRACKS FOR SWEET SLEEP A lack of proper sleep is linked to numerous mental and physical health issues, and for many people, reaching for their headphones can send them right into dreamland. Listening to calming music with repetitive patterns and simple elements for at least 45 minutes can help you achieve deep sleep. It triggers your body to rest, slowing your breathing and increasing the production of feel-good hormones. The trick to finding the right snooze song is avoiding anything unpredictable, loud, or distracting. Too many complex chord changes or guitar solos can keep your brain on alert. MELODIES MIRROR THE MIND Music is a universal language and an excellent way to help build your confidence and find your voice. By singing along, playing a drum, or moving to the beat, you can express yourself in a way that lets you stave off stress and remember who you are. Next time you are feeling stressed, put on your headphones and your pick-me-up playlist to give your day a whole new, relaxed rhythm.
Have you ever noticed that stress melts away when you tap your foot to a favorite tune or do a little “happy dance”? Music is more than just a soundtrack in our lives; it’s a form of therapy that can help us heal by tuning in and turning up soothing sounds. Your playlist is a science-backed mood booster that can bring calm and balance to your body and mind. TUNING OUT THE TENSION Music can have a considerable impact on how we feel and act. If you are stressed, slow-tempo songs can help quiet the noise in your mind, lift your spirits, and release tension.
The power of audio over anxiety is scientifically proven and corresponds with actual physical changes in your body. Research suggests that music around 60 beats per minute can cause your brain to sync with the rhythm and produce the brainwaves needed for relaxation. Other studies have found that listening to music can lower cortisol levels, the hormone responsible for stress. Calming tunes can even decrease your heart rate and blood pressure.
