The Solve Mood Boost

Listening to uplifting music can have a direct and positive impact on our mood.  Just like a walk in the fresh air or eating a healthy lunch, listening to music we enjoy is certain to boost our mood – it’s like an emotional charge.

Maybe you wake up to music or listen on your daily commute to work or have music playing while you are at home.  With custom playlists on our electronic devices, we can select songs for the various moods we are in, or to even bring us out of a negative one.  Be conscious of the music you are listening to (especially in the morning) because it can positively or negatively impact your day.  

Your Solve puzzle collection combined with uplifting music make for a daily ritual that can positively impact your lifestyle.  The combination can be empowering !

Find a little time and space for your Solve puzzle ritual and then choose music to match your mood or change up your mood.  For example,  If you are feeling disappointed or sluggish or generally not 100%, you may automatically choose to listen to music that reflects those moods like slower tempo songs or sad songs.  This may have the effect of reinforcing the mood.  Try to do the opposite thing– change your mood by listening to upbeat music that can help to lift the mood into one that is positive, invigorating, refreshing. 

If you are starting your day with your Solve puzzle collection, you may choose upbeat music to kick start your day. Listening to your favourite tunes in the morning can create an upbeat outlook to the day ahead.   If you are settling into your Solve ritual in the evening, you may opt for some quiet music, or calming songs.  You can also create a list of favourite songs or soothing sounds of nature that help free up your mind of distractions and enable your mind to focus on your Solve collection ritual.

Solving word puzzles on a regular basis (and that heady feeling of success that comes with successful solving) is known to have a positive effect on emotional health.  Keep nervousness and anxiety under control by focussing your attention on your Solve collection.  Just the act of concentrating on words and numbers in front of you can help keep emotions balanced.  Add music and discover a great solving combination.
