Pushing Limits: Music and Fitness for Mental Health Recovery
Most people use music as entertainment consciously, but unconsciously they use it like a drug. If you're putting bad drugs in your head, you're going to have a bad life.
Ever thought about how fitness and music can team up to boost your mental health? In this episode of 'The Power of Positive Playlists Podcast', host John Chester sits down with Army Veteran Adrian Bledsoe to chat about just that. They dive into the nitty-gritty of stepping out of your comfort zone and how having a visual plan can skyrocket your productivity. But the real kicker? Their deep dive into how music impacts our lives.
Chester makes a compelling point: while we often think of music as mere entertainment, it’s much more than that. Unconsciously, we might be using it like a drug. And just like with any drug, what you put in matters. Bad tunes can lead to a bad life, but positive playlists can be a game-changer for mental health recovery.
Both Chester and Bledsoe share personal stories and insights on how the right music can keep us motivated and help us hit our goals. Bledsoe even opens up about how music helped him find a sense of normalcy during his time serving overseas. It's a heartfelt conversation that underscores the power of music and fitness in transforming our mental well-being.
