Music as Self-Care 🎵
Music has a way of reaching us like nothing else can. The right song can calm nerves, lift your mood, or give you energy when you feel drained. For teens, music isn’t just entertainment, it’s a powerful tool for self-care.

Why Music Works
🎶 Helps lower stress and boost mood
🎶 Provides a safe way to process emotions
🎶 Improves focus and motivation
Music Instead of Substances
When life feels overwhelming, some people turn to substances to cope. Music offers a healthier choice. Listening, writing, or creating music helps release tough emotions without the risks of alcohol, vaping, or drugs.
Try It Out
• Make playlists for different moods
• Write your own lyrics or poetry
• Play an instrument or use an app to create beats
• Dance or move to your favorite songs
Music is more than background noise, it can be a form of healing and a strong way to care for yourself. 🎧
