The Benefits of Music

-


I believe that one of the best and easiest ways to reduce stress is through music. I love that music is so easily accessible and is available to people all over the world. It really is the global language that everyone can understand and love!

For me, the best way to relax after a long day is to just chill on my couch and turn music on. I have also found that music gives me a source of calmness and peace that helps me to feel grounded in reality and helps ease my worries and pains. Recently I found an article that listed some of the health benefits of music. From this article I found that there is a difference between listening to fast and slow music. Where fast music can increase your heart rate and blood pressure, slow music can decrease your heart rate and blood pressure thus helping you to relax. I loved that the article also mentioned that the repetitive elements of rhythm and melody can help our brains to form patterns that increase our memory. Who would have thought that music and memory work so well together!


As well as improving our memory and relieving stress, music can also help to ease pain and anxiety. In studies of people with cancer, those that had music playing to them showed less anxiety compared to those who received treatment without music. For me, I know that music has the ability to relieve pain as it can be a distracting influence and can make the pain seem insignificant.

Of course it has to be the right type of music for pain relief only upbeat songs will do, none of this sad shit .

To me, the best part of music is its power to heal and ease my worries. By turning on a good song I am instantly transported to my happy place. That’s what I really love about music, it’s not a place or a thing it’s something I can take with me everywhere I go.

MUSIC MOTIVATES US:

Music is a source of motivation for me, I love that when I wake up in the morning all I have to do is turn on some music and I already feel more prepared, centered and ready to start my day.That’s the beauty of music, it can give us a boost and make us more aware and present in the moment. I always enjoy listening to upbeat music, it gives me the energy I need for the day and I especially love to listen to music when I exercise! It is so great for me and it gives me the motivation and focus I need to work out. It also makes me feel really happy and that’s why I love it!

MUSIC CONNECTS US:

I believe that music is definitely a way to connect people. In my opinion sharing our music with people around us is a way to show that we love them. People listen to music all around the world, it’s a global language that connects us and makes the world a better place. Without music, life would be boring!

If you love music as much as I do, I can recommend these artists/songs to listen to!

·       Michael Jackson-he is so good!

·       The Grease Soundtrack

·       Boney M

·       ABBA

·       Dua Lipa

I would love to hear if anyone else has music/artists that they love, please leave a comment if you have some great recommendations!

I feel like this year has flown by, but after reminiscing, I’ve realised that I have done so much and have had many incredible experiences! So here is my 2022 in review! Enjoy! Trips Away I went to Caloundra and Mooloolaba earlier this year for trips away. I spent my days checking out beaches, relaxing, eating delicious food and watching sunsets with good company <3 Blue Hair I dyed my hair for the first time last New Year’s Eve! I’ve kept the tips of my hair blue all year round, just by refreshing the colour every couple of months. I’ve really loved having my hair blue! I think it represents me and my personality perfectly. Hikes and walks I’ve always loved nature and walks, and this year I have continued this passion by trying different trails! I’ve explored Karawatha Park Nature Reserve, Daisy Hill Conservation Park, and Enoggera Reserve, just to name a few! Days at Redcliffe Redcliffe has been such an amazing place to visit on days out! Walking along the pier, gettin...

Another Year, Another Beach Trip

As you guys know, I love to travel! In February, my friends and I headed down to the Gold Coast for a holiday! After checking out a few places, we decided to stay at the Kirra Surf Apartments . We had an amazing apartment, with a phenomenal beach front view and a spa bath!  We had to hit the beach first, as we were so tempted by the view. The beach at Kirra was perfect, with the water refreshing us on the warm day. Since we were right there, we decided to have fish and chips on the beach! It was a great way to start the holiday. Lucky for me, my good friends Marlena and Bert live close by, so we decided to catch up for dinner! We met up in Coolangatta and strolled down the beach. Marlena always has funny stories to tell, and amazing recommendations for when I’m visiting . Holidays are a great time to eat amazing food, and we definitely did! After some good reviews from friends, I decided to try Japanese for the first time at the Osushi Coolangatta . It was definit...

My Healthy Hair Care Routine

There is a myth that natural products automatically cost a lot more. Over the upcoming months, I hope to break the stigma around natural products and affordability . This post will be addressing my natural hair care routine! Hair care that is healthy, as well as being cost effective, is important. I understand my followers can’t fork out money for expensive products that they don’t trust or know are effective. Some people believe that natural means more expensive, and this isn’t always true. I don’t spend a lot of money on my haircare products each month and I only need a small amount each time I wash my hair. My Current Hair Care Products: Nutriclean Original Lotion Concentrate (OLC) I use OLC in my daily life, and I use it as a substitute for shampoo. OLC is free from harmful chemicals, is biodegradable and made from Yucca Extracts & Botanical Surfacants. I like that Nutrimetics is confident enough in their product to tell their customers the exact ingredients. Knowing ...
