Healing music is so easy to incorporate into your day, especially if you suffer from anxiety and depression! \u00a0Do you give yourself the recommended daily allowance of the music you love?? \u00a0Most people listen to music on their car radios, their iPods, and their iPhones, but is it the music you really love the most? \u00a0Scientists, musicologists, music therapists, and performing musicians know that music is one of the easiest and most powerful ways to raise energy levels and increase all of those feel-good hormones that can change our moods in minutes!! \u00a0It is also very valuable with healing with depression and anxiety<\/p>\n
Intention is everything!! \u00a0If you know the type of music that lifts your spirits and honestly makes you feel hopeful when you otherwise feel hopeless and glum, why not consciously choose to have that specific music at your fingertips 24\/7? \u00a0That’s the beauty of our iPhones and iPods. \u00a0We can create 100’s of playlists of our favorite songs, pieces, show tunes, or Chopin etudes!!<\/p>\n
Music has absolutely no negative side effects! \u00a0Although I feel that I may have had mild addictions to certain pieces of music, they usually resolve themselves after a couple of weeks. \u00a0There are certain songs\/pieces that, if they come on the radio as I pull into my driveway, I simply cannot turn the car off until the entire piece is over! \u00a0Have you experienced that? \u00a0Music is as powerful as any drug, without the negative side-effects. \u00a0Before taking drugs for anxiety or depression, trying creating a new playlist of your favorite upbeat, energizing music. \u00a0There’s nothing wrong with taking anti-anxiety or depression medications, but the less, the better!<\/p>\n
Here is one of my favorite upbeat songs:<\/p>\n
