Reasons to Listen to More Music
Music is amazing, isn’t it? It gets us excited about our day and it helps us feel when we can’t express our emotions. Listening to music is usually something positive and can help us in more ways than we know. Here are some reason you should listen to more music.
Sometimes music just makes you want to MOVE!

Motivation
When I need to get something done, listening to music always helps. I turn on my favorite upbeat songs and I’m good to go. Not everyone finds motivation in music, but I sure do. Music is often the ONLY thing that gets me kicked into gear to get out and do some exercising!
Expression
There are several times in life that I have just needed to listen to music to help me express my emotions. Not every song helps me to work through my emotions, but some do!
Focusing
When I need to get some work done quickly, I turn up the music and jam out. There are certain songs that I have labeled as my work music. When this is on, I know it’s time to get work done. People have used music for ages to help them get stuff done.
Enjoyment
Let’s face it, sometimes it’s just awesome to listen to music for the fun of it. Music speaks to our hearts and our souls. Listening to music in our cars or at home is a way to zone out and enjoy life a little.
Walk down memory lane
I won’t ever hear “What a Wonderful World” without remembering the dance I shared at my wedding with my grampa.
There are some songs that remind us of a point in our life. Maybe a song reminds you of your mom or your dad or of a special memory. Songs have a way of pulling those memories out of our hearts. Any song about dads, daughters, fathers? I’m a mushy mess.
Looking for some new tunes to play for any of the reasons above? NOW 60 has a new album coming out. My favorite song from the Album is Meghan Trainor – Me Too ! If you haven’t heard this song, it’s a must listen. NOW 60 has the best hits on their album. NOW That’s What I Call Music!, released NOW That’s What I Call Music!

I sometimes drive in silence and I forget to turn on music! I need to turn it up and relax with good tunes.

I love listening to music. Even my husband and my son love listening to it too. I don’t think there was a day that we didn’t listen to music. 🙂

Listening to music just brightens my spirit when I’m down. It also energizes me when I need it most (ie cleaning the house, going for a run…jog…ok walk) 🙂

You are oh so right highlighting the importance of music. I find myself constantly putting some on, whether when playing with my kids, cooking, or just hanging out.

I love listening to music. I try to play some music in the background when I am on the laptop. If not it is way to quite in the house.

I have seen how powerful music is in my family as well. My oldest son always loves to listen to music when he is doing homework. My youngest is happiest when singing and dancing. I love to listen to the oldies station when I am in the car by myself. Music is very powerful.

Music really helps to active your mood. When I have a lot of work that I need to done quickly, just turn on the music and voila!
