Most mornings when I wake up, there’s some type of song stuck in my head.
Sometimes, it’s a positive song, like a gospel song or something, and other mornings it’s a random vulgar rap song, LOL. I think to myself, “Why is this song stuck in my head?” and most times, it’s because I was listening to it the night before.
This has made me more conscious of what I listen to before bed and in general. It’s obvious that the music is affecting me subconsciously, so I must be deliberate about what I do and don’t listen to.
I can say that I feel better when I wake up and there’s a random positive song stuck in my head. That leads to a better day. I can’t say that the opposite happens when a negative song is stuck in my head, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it did.
We all should be more conscious of what we consume. It might seem like a simple song, video, or social media post, but they can impact us after consumption, just like food does.
So make sure you’re listening to something you wouldn’t mind waking up singing, and make sure you’re consuming things you wouldn’t mind affecting you.
