Create a playlist of uplifting songs
We all have favourite songs, but uplifting music can be a valuable addition to your wellbeing toolkit.
How uplifting music can support wellbeing:
- Boosts mood by releasing feel-good chemicals such as dopamine and serotonin.
- Reduces stress by lowering levels of the stress hormone cortisol.
- Strengthens connection by bringing people together and reducing feelings of isolation.
- Encourages movement through upbeat rhythms—try standing still to Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance with Somebody!”
Whether your music is streamed, on vinyl, or even cassette tape, everyone has songs that lift their spirits. If you need inspiration, the British Red Cross has created a wellbeing playlist designed to help people feel more positive and hopeful.
