Since the beginning of human existence, it has been proven that apart from experimenting with 'plastic arts' or 'sculptures', our ancestors used sounds and rhythms to communicate emotions or simply mundane messages. Have you ever considered that instruments have been found in excavations thousands of years ago? Well, there you have the answer!
The importance of music in our lives
Listening to music every day not only distracts us, entertains us or fills the void of silence while we do chores at home, but on a physical level it helps regulate emotions and sometimes even lower anxiety levels. It's a home remedy for bad times!
How many hours a day is it recommended to listen to music?
There is no recommended number of minutes! You can spend 24 hours listening to your favorite playlists, or just sing your favorite songs at the top of your lungs during your 10-minute shower in the morning. Dedicate the time that you consider fulfills your soul, or take advantage of listening to music while you work - it will help you concentrate!
It is a wonderful tool, but you should not overdo it. If you listen to music for too long without stopping, it can cause hearing fatigue and exhaustion.
The impact of sound equipment on the listening experience
But is every musical experience worth it? Of course, you can listen to music on your car radio, at a concert or through the window when your neighbour turns up the volume, but ideally you should select an appropriate quality for the experience to be optimal.
For example, if you listen to music on a playback device that has a lot of interference or is about to be thrown away, you might find it annoying and not enjoy it - you might end up angry at the world! However, if you get a playback device or headphones that work properly or are of good quality, you can enjoy an immersive experience like never before and come out of this moment of disconnection a new person.
The health benefits of listening to music at home
Did you know that music has therapeutic properties that can improve our quality of life in many ways? From mental health to even physical well-being.
The effect of music on mental health
As we've already mentioned, music can often help you lower your anxiety level and release endorphins, making you go from having a dull day to wanting to take on the world. Also, if you select your playlist carefully, it can help motivate you for a successful workout session, as if you had your own superhero soundtrack!
Improving sleep and insomnia with music
Are you one of those people who can't sleep at night? Stop scrolling through social media and hit play on a good playlist of instrumental songs. It will help you get into a relaxed state and fall asleep better. There are people who benefit from white noise and others who fall asleep to metal concerts. Which band are you in?
Music and disease prevention
As a curiosity, there are several studies that suggest that music can strengthen the immune system, reduce blood pressure and contribute to better cardiovascular health. Do you think this can work? Putting it to the test is always a good idea, and you have nothing to lose by trying it!
Fostering creativity through music
And of course, music is super linked to our creative side, so it is recommended at the same level as reading, or doing other activities that involve using your imagination such as writing and even composing. Wake up your brain with the songs you like the most!
The right music for different occasions
But not all genres or bands have a place at all times. To make your music experience perfect, we recommend that you select a playlist that evokes or helps you depending on the moment you are in: For example, a playlist to listen to in the car, a playlist to listen to while walking, a playlist for when you need to lift your spirits, and of course the infallible party playlist!
