Let's increase our self-esteem by listening to music! A neo soul experience.
New year, time for resolutions. Working on our self-esteem can be a good starting point, and the chances of success increase considerably if we are helped by listening to a song!
It has been shown that listening to a song that conveys a positive message has the power to positively influence our mood by helping us to see reality more optimistically and helping to lower our stress level to improve opinion that we have of ourselves.
But how does this process work? And what are the songs that more than others get this result? Let’s say at once that there are no songs that in themselves can be indicated for the purpose, to make them such is a set of factors that, in addition to the very content of the song, include our tastes, our expectations and personal experiences.
To this is added a crucial element: empathy. When between us who listen and the artist who performs a song snaps this factor, it becomes spontaneous to identify ourselves in what the song expresses and make its content ours. If the song transmits a positive self-assessment, we will be led to evaluate ourselves in a more lenient way. The message expressed becomes an additional weapon that helps to cope with everyday difficulties in a more optimistic and determined way.
That said, it also follows how music can be able to guide our behavior and our way of thinking. Our cognitive process can be influenced by our sympathy for an artist. If we think about the large number of people that can be reached by a song, we realize the strong power that these have to convey and transmit a message until it is shared by a multitude of listeners.
We know that music has always played an important role in society. It has accompanied important moments such as the struggles against discrimination, has given rise to fashions and new lifestyles, but in addition to creating social cohesion and shared messages, we must also recognize music’s ability to influence our relationship with ourselves.
