Music can raze out the written troubles of the brain. William Shakespeare
May is always a difficult month for motherless daughters. I have a tiny suggestion on how to improve your mood—listen to music.
A study in Nature Neuroscience demonstrated that levels of the feel-good chemical dopamine in the brain rose by up to nine percent when people listened to music they enjoyed.
