The Power of Music in Enhancing Wellbeing
Music
“Music acts like a
magic key, to which
the most tightly
closed heart opens.”
– Maria Von Trapp
Background
Music can play a big part in our lives.
Music can help us to identify and express
emotions. Music can help us feel alive
and connected. And sometimes music
can be life changing.
Listening to music doesn’t have to be the
only way music can help. Try singing,
playing an instrument, or writing your own
music or song.
Music and Wellbeing
Music can sometimes:
•
express how we are feeling.
•
relate to our own experiences and
emotions.
•
vent difficult thoughts and
emotions.
•
comfort.
What does music do to you?
Thinking about the music in your life. Consider the
following questions:
•
Does the music allow you to sit with a mood, change a
mood or set a new mood?
•
Does it make you feel better or worse?
•
Is it helpful to feel worse? When does it stop being
helpful? For example, rather than music having a
calming effect on you, listening to it might make you
feel more angry or anxious.
•
Is it a certain style of music that is helpful or unhelpful
or is it a certain artist or words in a song?
Once we are aware of how music affects us, we can then start to
be more conscious about what and when we listen to music.
Make a specific
playlist of songs
to boost your
mood.
“If everyone started
off the day singing,
just think how
happy they’d be.”
– Lauren Myracle, Shine
