The other day I had a thought that music is its own form of therapy. I was just sitting down, and it came to me. As you know by now, I ponder things quite often. Back to the article, as we know there are many types of music and therapy and it's a matter of finding the one that you can connect to on a personal level.

There are endless genres of music to discover and always the next new band to find. Many people actually benefit from music instead of regular therapy, because of how the brain can respond to music. It can also help the body's immune system function and stress.

There has actually been scientific proof about music as therapy, specifically for children in pediatric emergency rooms. This also goes for adults who participate in live music therapy, which helps to provide relief from persistent pain.

Everyone has that artist that can make them feel better in just a second. There are those certain songs that can just change your mood in an instant. It's a bizarre occurrence, but it certainly helps. Anyone who's into music knows this feeling. You're having a bad day, but that one song can change how you feel, effortlessly.

Some days require uptempo songs, other days require downtempo songs. Sometimes it's about how you feel. Sometimes it's because of the weather. Sometimes it's because you have someone on your mind.

Sometimes it's because of that one little part of that song that keeps playing on loop until you finally figure out what song it is. These "sometimes" can be endless, but everyone has their path to it.

Music is therapy, and it's up to you to find the path you're drawn to.
