Scientists at McGill University discovered a direct link between the bliss generated by listening to your favorite and the discharge of the neurotransmitter dopamine in the brain. Dopamine is a chemical released in the brain that affects emotional regulation, pleasure, and rewards.

Tip: – Pay attention and note how you feel when you listen to your favorite song. Does it make you smile? Do you sing along? Does it take you to a place and time that makes you happy?
