Music Awakens My Soul

The power of music is unquestionable. Music awakens my soul and connects me to my emotional center. I enjoy the journey that melodies allow me to take. 

At the end of each day, I turn on the soothing sounds of jazz to help me wind down and feel at peace. I focus on love and other wonderful feelings. Jazz connects me to a place of well-being. 

At times, I rely on the sounds of nature to provide the same soothing effects. The sounds made by windblown trees and chirping birds are music to my soul. 

When I get the urge to feel alive, I listen to upbeat music. The fast beats and catchy lyrics excite me. My heart beats in tune. This choice of music helps me to prepare for a rough work day ahead. 

Music that calls for social change is important to me. It reminds me to always consider what is important in the world. 

When artists feel the need to sing about injustice and inequality, I feel inspired by their bravery. It awakens a desire in me to do my part. Part of my commitment to making the world a positive place comes from musical influences. 

Today, I love the impact that music has on me. My life is happier because I have the sounds of music to carry me through. I experience growth because I choose to listen to lyrics and melodies that positively impact me.
