Anxiety hijacks your nervous system, speeding up your heart, tightening your muscles, and flooding you with “what ifs.”

Music can help you turn down the volume on those physical alarms.

🎵 How Music Calms Anxiety:

✔️ Slow tempos (60-80 bpm) mimic resting heart rates

✔️ Low-frequency sounds ground the body

✔️ Simple melodies avoid overstimulation

💡 Quick Anxiety Playlist Tips:

• Choose instrumental or soft vocals
• Pick music without sharp changes or fast rhythms
• Try nature sounds blended with soft piano or acoustic guitar

What to Avoid:

• Fast beats
• Heavy bass drops
• Sudden loudness or dissonant sounds

Music is not a cure, but it is a tool.

It can signal safety to your body when your mind feels unsafe.

Tomorrow, we’ll look at music for sadness—how to process it, not get trapped in it.
