Over the years my headphones have become my trademark. 8 out of 10 times I have them on or with me. But my positive mood is also one of my trademarks. Rarely will you meet me in a bad mood. Bet you’re wondering how does he pull it off?
Music has always been an integral part of my life. I listen to various music genres, with my main genres being HipHop, Dancehall and Soca. These genres contain high energy beats and lyrics that keep your mind on being happy, enjoying a party and/or succeeding at your dreams. I use them to set my mood. Here is how music affects your mood
Joyful music triggers our brain to produce “happy” chemicals such as serotonin and dopamine which cause us to feel happy. During my very short stint as a door to door salesman my coach told us how he kept his motivation up when being bombarded with “NO’s”, closed doors and lack of sales. He revealed that he would put on “Adventure time Bacon Panckaes – New York remix” ( Click here and check it out) which would instantly get him back in his happy zone.
These are my top 5 mood setting songs
M.O.P. – Ante up Remix
Machel Montano – Happiest man alive
Bad lip reading – Seagulls! (stop it now)
Dwayne Johnson – You’re welcome
The rolling stones – Paint it black
Besides the mental boost music has been proven to positively affect your physical health Here are examples of how music can keep you healthy and is used in the medical field
The medical uses are all fine and dandy but making conscious practical use of music is where the magic happens
There was a study done where participants would listen to a short piece of music and depending on the tone of the music it would affect how they interpret faces. So depending on the tone of music they would see people’s faces as happy (positive) or sad (negative). The effect was more pronounced with neutral faces but even a slightly positive interpretation of someone can make it easier to speak to them.
Also simply moving to the rhythm of the music, helps your motor coordination but more importantly it boosts your self-confidence. So listening to music on your way to a networking event can help you step through the door brimming with confidence.
So if you want to see some happy faces, confidently approach that one person you been meaning to meet and leave a positive impression, listen to that song which makes you feel awesome!
Do you consciously use music to affect your mood?
