Want to be Happy? Let the Music Play...

Here's something I read recently on "Woman's Day"... Another secret to living well every day... It works for me... So simple... Try it and see the difference...

Playing 20 minutes of upbeat music every morning may be the best way to jumpstart a good day. Why? Research shows that your favorite tunes have a positive effect on your mind and body -- making you happy and reducing anxiety by triggering endorphins (those feel-good chemicals) in your brain.

Listening to music relaxes you, stimulates feel-good brain waves and makes even the most mundane tasks—say, soaping up the dishes—more fun. So load up your iPod or put your favorite releases into heavy rotation on your CD player.

No wonder I've been feeling happy these past few months. There's a scientific explanation to my "extended good mood" after all... (And I thought I was just getting weird... Okay... "weirder" than usual... Keke) Rain crooning in my ears from morning till night (my iPod is practically glued to my ears) has got a lot to do with it...
