Sing Away Bad Moods!

Sometimes when we are driving on the highway, walking around, or just relaxing outside, we may seem to have a song pop in our heads wanting to come out in the form of singing! Now singing is not everyones’ cup of tea, however, singing has been associated with many feel good factors that make singing a great tool for alleviating stress and boosting our moods. Similarly to how exercise boosts the flow of our endorphins and therefore our  hormones that make us feel happy, singing works in the same way; singing enhances the flow of dopamine which enhances the flow of feeling good! Furthermore, singing has also been associated with increases in oxytocin that helps us alleviate our anxiety and even enhances our trust. So, if you do seem to have that one song that wants to come out, let it out! Singing may be a healthy tool to boost your mood throughout the day.
