Whistle a Happy Tune!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Music English playwright William Congreve once wrote, "Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast; to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak." But what if you’re not an animal, a rock or a tree? It will work for you, too.

Scientists are now learning what most of us already know – music improves your mood. Listening to your favorite tunes can change your blood pressure, breathing pattern and heart rate, which in turn shifts your nervous system and transforms your feelings. That’s why some hospitals are now using music to calm frightened patients, reduce pain and speed healing.

Next time you’re in a funk, forget the chocolate cake. Reach for your iPod instead. Soon, you may be singing a different tune.


Tip of the Month

 How To Use Music to Boost Your Mood:

Music of any kind can change your feelings. The key is to find tunes that work for you, be they rock, pop, classical, or oldies. Just follow these general tips:

1. Feeling sad or low? Listen to upbeat music that stimulates and energizes you.

2. Feeling anxious or worried? Listen to soothing music that calms and relaxes you.
