Healthy living is generally defined by how physically healthy you are, right? For example, if you are sick or have a cold, you are considered not healthy. If you have a life altering disease such as aids or cancer, you are unhealthy. Now does this mean that it is entirely physical? No Way! Your well being is also determined by your mental health. Ponder this, the type of music you listen to generally affects your personality type. Here is a perfect example: I listened to Hard Rock as a teenager (most teenagers do) and was very wild, a trouble maker, energetic, and lots of fun! Now that I have matured in age, I listen to softer music and I am more calm, laid back, careless, and less energetic. Now focus on music and setting the mood. Again, going back to the metal music, how does that make you feel when you listen to it? I know based on experience that heavy music gets my adrenaline rushing, my foot pounding, my head pulsing. In short, it sends me into overdrive! Now, how do you feel when you listen to light music? Let me take you to the opposite extreme and use classical music as an example. While listening to a song composed by Beethoven, what is your mood? I usually feel very upper scale, smart, makes me feel like learning, opening a book, enriching my life. It puts me in a totally different mindset. How does it make you feel? Why would this make you live a healthier life? The right type of music could help your mood and attitude improve, creating a positive and happy outlook on life. It is a true statement that a happier person lives an extended life and is in better health than someone who is always concerned about something, miserable, and discontent. The body was not designed to handle stress all the time. This is where disease stems from. Think of the word, â€dis†â€easeâ€. This means there is not ease in the body, mental stress can be the cause of this. Music could be the fix. How about those feel good movies? Next time you get a chance, watch Disney’s Enchanted? It is a musical all in its own that has light, soft, dance in the street, kiss your neighbor, sweet music. It could make me feel very loving and uncharacteristically in the mood to hug a chipmunk. The producers knew what they were doing with this. As with most Disney movies the soundtrack is crucial. It puts the movie watches in a positive mind frame and gives them something to look forward to. What does all this music stuff have to do with living longer and healthier? Discover what makes you happy and concentrate your efforts on that type of music. Do not try to trick yourself; you know what it is that makes you feel the best. Enjoy this knowledge that you now have on living just a little bit healthier with music and share this with your family.
