Music for Mental Fitness: Mood Control

How does music control your moods?

• Aggressive music calms me down.
• EDM makes me happy.
• Music is my therapist because the song understands me.
• I’m reminded of what I don’t want to do in the lyrics.
• Music connects me to loved ones who have died.
• My anxiety calms down when I listen to music.
