By definition...a hobby is a regular activity that is a major source of
pleasure and enjoyment during one's leisure time.
One of my favourite hobbies that relaxes my brain at the end of a busy
day is listening to music! It always puts me in a FANTASTIC mood!
Listening to music as a hobby can have numerous benefits that go beyond
pure enjoyment:
Research has shown that simply listening to music helps reduce the
levels of cortisol, a hormone that is associated with stress and
anxiety in our bodies.
Music can transport us to another place and time, stimulating our
imagination and letting us escape our daily worries. This is why music
can make you feel more joyful, optimistic, and inspired, as it
triggers the release of dopamine in the brain.
Listening to music as a hobby can not only enhance our creativity but
also our productivity, attention, and focus.
When do I listen to music you might ask? Everywhere and anywhere! Doing
the dishes? Listen to music! Cooking? Listen to music and dance! Coding
with SheCodes? Absolutely listen to music!
