Hey music lovers! This blog post is for you.
Music helps us to connect with others, relive memories and can even change our mood. Research has shown that listening to music can reduce anxiety, blood pressure, and pain as well as improve sleep quality, mood, mental alertness, and memory. With the ability to have such a strong impact on our lives, it makes sense to journal about music!

What are the benefits of journaling about music?
Music can connect us to memories throughout our life, so journaling about music can help to trigger memories and feelings from different times of your life. Music can affect our mood and help us to reflect on our feelings, so writing about music is another way to explore your emotions. Music can raise your mood, make you excited or calm and relaxed, and journaling about music can help you to better understand your emotions. Music can stimulate the mind, so listening to music while you journal can also help your writing flow. Writing about music can also help you to better understand your music taste and increase your appreciation for music. It may even encourage you to experiment with new music!

Put on your favourite playlist while you journal, plan, finish a puzzle, draw or colour-in! Music pairs so well with our favourite creative activities. Did you know that music influences your creative choices? Music can increase your focus and help you to be more mindful in the moment, or get in the creative zone. It also improves your mood and sparks inspiration. Different types of music can connect you to different feelings and memories and inspire your use of colour, the kinds of concepts you choose in your creations and the mood you're in while you create, which can reflect on your creations.
