MED2029 (SENT ON BEHALF OF DR. KAUSHAL NANAVATI) -- Weekly Wellness PEARL

[Barbara Glover]

Good morning,

Each weekly message includes a technique that can support your well-being and is grounded in scientific evidence and practical application.  Incorporating these strategies into your daily routine can significantly enhance your overall health and wellness.

Art or Music Therapy

  *   Scientific Evidence: Art and music therapy reduce stress and anxiety, particularly in high-stress environments like medical settings.
     *   Reference: Lin, M.-F., et al. (2011). Effects of music therapy on depression and pain in people with dementia. Psychological Medicine, 41(6), 1146-1153.
  *   Daily Implementation:
     *   Listen to relaxing music while studying.
     *   Sketch or doodle during free time.
     *   Attend local music events or create playlists.

Have a great day!
