How do songs help us in elevating our mood or state of mind?

Hi

Thanks for the follow(s) * (+ likes), as the reason I write is to share.
* (Though my family and close friends say it would be far more entertaining with a video-camera # in “real life”, rather than in cyberspace!)

# By the way, do they still make them in today’s ever-faster changing world..or is it all done with mobile phones?

(get with the times now,”luddite”* c – it should be a smart phone)

* or so I was often called by my “my techno-geek” friend, Bill (“the gonk”)

“total non-techno” c (who doesn’t possess a mobile phone, after a rather eventful’ experience some years back, whilst trying to walk, talk and chew gum at the same time)

Who says men can’t multi-task!

Kind regards and all the best with your blog

Best wishes from the First City to see the sun (in summer) …and we’re also the first to see the sunset and the stars (in winter-time)

“I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.”

Just show, Dont tell

Songs help us in elevating our mood in many ways. it keeps our mind calm and it clears our negotiations and entertain us. Listening music also helps in reducing stress, get relaxed and reduces anger.

“Create a dream and give it all you’ve got…”

Craig's Quotes

“Create a dream and give it everything you have,
You could be surprised just how
much you are capable of achieving.
If you don’t have a dream…borrow one!
Any what way, you must have a dream.”
– Jesse Owens, famous American sprinter who won four gold medals at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin.
