Properly chosen music, or rather, its rhythms will not only cheer you up, but also help you successfully solve any problem. The fact is that music can bring a person to the desired emotional state. Alexander Korol, analyst, researcher of human psychology, Russian writer and author of books on personal development, told socialbites.ca about this.
According to the expert, today people listen to music every day, but perceive its meaning unconsciously. For example, when a person is sad, he often tries to go deeper into this situation with the help of depressive songs, but this is wrong. After all, such actions only reinforce the negative situation. In this case, you should give preference to positive compositions that will help cheer you up and get rid of sad thoughts.
“There is a whole category of music that helps to achieve a joyful state of health, it needs to be turned on from the early morning. In particular, there may be aspects such as folk or pop-folk-rock with elements of reggae and electronic music. If you want to motivate yourself and awaken your strength for the upcoming workout, the tracks should be active and energetic: rap or alternative rock, ”said Alexander Korol.
He noted that music can also increase productivity at work. When a person listens to pleasant melodies, the level of the hormone dopamine, which is responsible for motivation, attention and creativity, rises. Therefore, it is important to choose the right music in order to efficiently perform work tasks and not be distracted by external stimuli.
“To maintain a productive state, it is better to listen to instrumental compositions – they will set a single pace that will not distract you from external influences. An excellent solution for study is modern classical music,” said the expert.
If it is important for a person to stay concentrated, it is worth giving preference to familiar songs. Thus, the brain will not waste extra resources trying to understand the composition, but will focus entirely on the business processes.
“Professionals from the creativity and IT industries should take a look at experimental electronic music and indie pop. Such stylistic compositions allow you to unleash creativity, as the melodies are full of rhythms and help keep brain activity in good shape for a long time,” explained the analyst.
