 Benefits of listening to music 

Music is all around us. But, have you ever wondered if it has an impact on our health, mind and body. In this article you'll read some unexpected benefits of listening to music.

1. Eases the pain.
As incredible as it may seem, it works even when it's not medicine. Music reduce stress levels, as well as it provides strong competing stimulus to pain signals. It reduce the perceived intensity of pain, especially in geriatric care, intensive care or palliative medicine.

2. Increases happiness.
Listening to music for at least 15 minutes induce the brain to release dopamine, a neurotransmitter that increases feelings of happiness. Beyond others like excitement and joy.

3. Increases workout endurance 
Music has a direct effect on body hormones. It lowers the levels of the hormone cortisol in the body, counteracting the effects of chronic stress. Having that stress causes 60 percent of all illnesses and ailments, so by lowering levels of stress we obtain greater chances for overall well-being.

4. It helps people eat less.
Playing soft music in the background during meal can help people slow down while eating and ultimately consume less food in one sitting.

5. Increases verbal intelligence.
A investigation made proved that 90 percent of kids of ages between 4 and 6 had significantly increased verbal intelligence after just a month of taking music classes, where they learned about rhythm, pitch, melody and voice. The results suggest that music training had a transfer effect that increased children's ability to understand words, and even more to explain their meaning.
Another study showed similar results in music trained adult women and children who outperformed a group without music training on test of verbal memory.

6. Reduce depression.
Music has a direct effect on our hormones, It can even be considered as a natural antidepressant. This because certain melodies cause the release of serotonin and dopamine in the brain, increasing feelings of happiness and well-being. It also releases norepinephrine, which is a hormone that invokes feelings of euphoria.

Fortuity

  Fortuity   As humans we are finding kinds, what do I mean by that? Well, we usually go through life searching for all kinds of things, material and non material. The thing is, life is funny that way, sometimes the best things come when you're not looking for them, when you least expect them. Life is besides sarcastic, ironic, you plan something to happen and in the end of the day it happen just a hole different thing.  Have you ever heard of those who look for a couple so desperately? Well, it's funny because they are the ones who normally find harder to find one. On the other hand there are those who don't give a dam about searching for someone but they focus their attention on other stuff and life somehow send someone to step into their lives. Of course, not all coincidences end up well, but what I am pretty sure about is that everyone who you get to know has a reason for doing so.  Moreover, I'll dare to say that from my experience the best people that I've eve

Changes

  Changes   Life keeps going, just like the world keeps moving, maybe you're feeling like you're having one of the best days of your life and suddenly you're a down dum in the dumps, or the other way round, when you feel like everything is lost, something finally feels right or end up being just the way you wanted to. Anyways, none of the situations I previously mention remains the same, at least not forever. Lots of people could claim that some feelings never die, that's true but unfortunately life isn't just about feeling, is about moving on.  I used to wish that my happy days last forever until I understood how impossible my wish was, no matter how hard I tried, my days could never be all rose colour, because my days not only depend on me but on so many external factors, impossible for me to control.  The bright side is that no matter how bad you're feeling, even if you feel like it's the end of the world, believe me, nothing last forever. There's no

Eclipse

  Careful   Don't let what they want eclipse what you need, they can be very dreamy but they're not the sun, you are.  This blog begins with the word careful and a little quote I heard a long time ago. Allow me to explain myself, why careful? It's an advice to all those who just like me, whenever they love someone, they allow theirselves to sum up their whole life to the person you love.  I mean yeah, love is crucial in our lives but love does not resume to one person and one person only, believe me or not there's far beyond one important person in our lives, even when it looks like it plays the main role, we must be aware that the main role in the story is play by no one but us.  When you allow someone to eclipse yourself, you suddenly stop enjoying  life, why? because whenever they're not with you, you could feel like everything is useless, nothing but a lie playing with your head. You used to enjoy somethings before that someone came to your life right? And then
