Affects of Music on your mood

 Until I did research I never realized the benefits of listening to music. Throughout the years music has always put me in "a better mood" but I never really knew why. Well after doing some research I have came to the conclusion that music affects your brain in a couple of ways. The most simple ways it affects your mood is that music actually increases blood flow to the parts of your brain that affects your emotions. It also activates part of the brain called the "Limbic System", this system is in control of processing your emotions and controlling your memory. When music is heard, this system starts firing and memories begin flooding your brain.

    This is a great topic! I actually almost wrote about this myself. I love listening to music and it's amazing the impact it has on people. Sometimes we just put it on for background noise, but it affects us more than we think. Music can put me in a good more or make me motivated. Some people have a very deep connection with music and a song could be very personal to someone. I think it's really cool how deep of a connection we can have with music.

My Mental Health experiences

      Mental health is as big, if not bigger, of an issue as it has ever been before. It seems to me like in today's society most people, especially men, are pushing away their struggles in fear of people judging them. Mental wellness has always been a thing I struggled with due to pressure to succeed in sports, but as I have gotten older I realized it follows me wherever I go. But, I can overcome it using strategies that I have discovered through the year such as music, shooting around on a basketball court, or playing any outdoor activity. These strategies may not work for everyone but, it can be a good starting point for someone who is not sure what they can do to help themselves.       In this picture I am golfing at Disney World. This was the day I realized golf was going to probably be my favorite hobby for the rest of my life. Especially, when I need to just get away from everything.

Importance of teamwork in phys ed

 Throughout my elementary, junior high, and high school experience, all my teachers made teamwork a priority. I believe this is extremely important, even though it may not have seemed like it was at the time. Every day in our jobs or classes we are often asked to worked with a partner or help someone out on a task. This ability for us to easily and quickly adapt to each other is a direct product, in my eyes, of good experiences with this at a young age. Obviously everyone may have had different experiences but in my opinion this is where this critical skill began to develop.
