Music Makes You Feel Good!

There are many people out there who turn to music whenever they feel a little depressed. So why do so many people choose to listen to music when they are in such a state?

The answer is the brain.

When listening to soothing music the brain produces serotonin, a chemical that can create happiness and well being, and dopamine, a chemical produced by the brain considered to be a 'feel good' chemical.As such it is no wonder that people listen to music whenever they feel that they need a little (or a large) pick me up.

Listening to different types of music can also have other effects. Music can motivate you, it can help you to lower stress, and it can even change your perception of the world around you.So next time you feel depressed, stressed, or have any other type of negative feelings that leaves you 'down-in-the-dumps' listen to music. It may be just what is needed to bring you out of the 'dumps'.
