Listening to podcasts which have tools on how to help you improve overall well being can also be good for your mental health.
Numerous studies have found that listeners create a calming, reassuring and even healing environment for themselves while they are engrossed in a helpful podcast.
This is because when people listen to podcasts instead of watching them, it forces them to use their imagination and build the pictures in their mind.
Anxiety can steal your joy, make you feel depressed, irritated all the time, overwhelmed and not able to deal with life’s problems. Listening to a podcast is like tuning into a type of meditation and this helps release dopamine in the brain.
Dopamine plays an important role in your motivation and even your movement. Without it, you have no drive, you feel tired, can’t concentrate and may feel hopeless and anxious. It’s released when your brain is expecting a reward, completed a task or has reached a goal.
What’s more, podcasts are a great way to learn more about mental health issues, strategies to cope and how to take the time for self-care.
