Why Listen to Music?
Music allows your mind to rethink. The beats, the tune, and the tempo all play into the parts of relaxing your mind. Music increases motivation levels and improves happiness levels in only a few weeks.
How Music Affects Mood
Happier music causes the production of dopamine and serotonin, which are two neurotransmitters that evoke happy feelings. Calmer music relaxes the brain and muscles.
What Should I Listen To?
Listening to your favorite playlist boosts motivation. However, classical music calms the mind and the body. Choosing music that relates to your mood helps you cope with your emotions even more.
