Day 12: Listening to music
Listening to music is an easy and enjoyable way to bring relaxation into your day, no matter where you are or how much time you have. Music has a powerful effect on the brain, helping to reduce stress, improve mood and enhance focus. Whether it’s calming classical music, energizing pop songs or feel-good nostalgic tunes, music can be tailored to fit your emotional needs in the moment. And, it’s accessible almost anywhere - at work, during a commute or when you’re unwinding at home.
Take a few minutes today to immerse yourself in a favourite song: close your eyes, breathe deeply and focus on the lyrics, instruments or rhythm.
If you’re working, you can try playing instrumental tracks in the background to maintain your focus without distractions. By intentionally choosing music to complement your emotional state, you can turn even a brief listening session into a quick reset for your mind and mood.
