Music heals. When we feel gloomy or sad, music helps us work through our sorrows. When we have trouble\u00a0sleeping<\/a>, listening to the right beats helps us\u00a0relax<\/a>. And when we\u2019re having a hard time\u00a0focusing<\/a>\u00a0on an important test or project, it\u2019s music to the rescue. But did you know\u00a0music can be the ultimate energizer<\/strong>, too? Let\u2019s zoom in on its\u00a0motivational power<\/strong>!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Have you ever noticed how many professional athletes have their earphones plugged in, right before a game or race? They are using music to crank themselves up, soaking up all the\u00a0motivation<\/strong>\u00a0they can to\u00a0get into the mindset<\/strong>\u00a0of a winner. Indeed, studies show that the right music can improve motivation. The reason? Music stimulates\u00a0dopamine levels<\/strong>\u00a0in the brain.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Dopamine: the happy \u2018go-getter\u2019 hormone<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Listening to certain types of music encourages your brain to release increased levels of dopamine. The same thing happens whenever we eat our\u00a0favourite food<\/strong>\u00a0or have\u00a0sexual relations<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 hence, dopamine is often called \u2018the happy hormone\u2019. But dopamine does more than just make us feel good. It also\u00a0regulates motivation<\/strong>\u00a0and influences our\u00a0motor reactions<\/strong>\u00a0accordingly, triggering goal-oriented behaviours in anticipation of a reward.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The best music to motivate yourself is fast-paced and upbeat,\u00a0building in tempo and volume<\/strong>\u00a0as the song progresses.
