Using Music to Change Your Mood
Everyone knows that listening to music when feeling bad can provide a relief. Music can also reduce stress, make depression more bearable and help you relax.
All the benefits of music can only be got if the listener enjoys the music he is listening to. If the listener dislikes the music or finds it boring, it will have a negative effect on him instead of a positive one.
Now let\’s examine what most of us do when it comes to listening to music. We usually just listen to a play list and allow a program to randomly (任意地) select the songs we are going to listen to. This is where the problem lies. What if you liked the first song but found the second one boring? What if the third one was a motivating song while the fourth didn\’t suit your emotions? What do you think the result will be?
What you\’ll have is an emotional mess\’. The first song will lift your mood a little. The second will make you a little bored. The third will motivate you and then the fourth will put you down. In the end you\’ll end up feeling worse than before.
I strongly recommend dividing your play list into different small lists. For example, a list for relaxation, a list for motivation and so on. Another very important thing you must do is to get rid of all of the old music that you are bored of. Besides, don\’t listen to songs with negative words or messages.
The music you listen to can delay your recovery from breakups (分手) by months and months! People who listen to romantic songs after breakups recover 10 times slower than those who don\’t. So be careful with your play list if you want to recover faster.
