Music and your Mood

[/media-credit]Listening to positive music on your way to school will make your day better.

Recent studies have shown that Music does affect the rest of your day. It can change someone’s mood entirely.

Scientists from the University of Missouri have conducted research that shows listening to upbeat music helps you to think more positively.

Listening to upbeat and happy music can even help you live a healthier life. Music therapy has been used for centuries as a way to restore energy, improve mood, and even help the body heal more naturally.

Such musical therapy was able to make people happier during the process and not just a result. “Rather than focusing on how much happiness they’ve gained…people could focus more on enjoying their experience of the journey towards happiness and not get hung up on the destination,” Yuna Ferguson.

When students at Orem High were asked how the type of music they listen to in the morning affects their day this is how they responded:

“I listen to country music on my way to school. It always puts me a great mood! Country music has a way of speaking to me. You can always find a country song to fulfill what you need to hear” said Samantha Stout, a junior at OHS.

Abby Rasmussen, another junior said, “I like to listen to upbeat happy music because it helps wake me up and start me in a good mood and positive thinking.”

“Hit me up with some One Direction and I’ll be the happiest person you come across all day” said OHS senior, Sarah Hamilton

Hormones related to that wake up feeling you get in the morning begin around breakfast-time. Encourage this activity, by putting on some light, easy and cheery music shortly after you awaken each morning.
