Listening to music can be entertaining, and it may even make you healthier. Listening to music can boost your mental health. Listening to music can influence your thoughts, feelings, and even your actions. Listening to music that hypes you up may make you feel ready for something challenging that you may be doing later on that day. And listening to music that moves you so much it brings you to tears. Music helps you realize deeper parts of yourself and helps you think a little harder.

Music can reduce stress or help you manage the stress you may be feeling. But the wrong music can promote unhelpful mental states. Pump-up music will help you feel happier and more confident instead of listening to sad music that may be promoting your sad feelings and overall making you feel more down.

Music can help you cope with the feelings you may have like sadness, depression, and anger. Just singing a song can help you feel more relieved. Personally, when I am sad or going through something I always go to listening to music and it helps me feel more calm and relieved. It also helps me realize what I may be feeling. When people have the feeling of sadness or being depressed they often feel alone. But music might help you relate to something. Sometimes music just touches you differently. It helps you express the emotion you are feeling. Whether it’s screaming your favorite song with your best or crying to a piece of music that relates to you on a deeper level.

 Music overall is very mentally good for you. It helps you deal with your emotions, deal with stress, and also helps you feel more connected with your loved ones.
