With the world throwing new challenges every day, it is very important for every one of us to maintain our sanity.

I did get a bit lax a few years ago but thank God, now I train every day at 6 in the morning. Even though it is a fast 20-minute session, I love doing it.

However, life is empty if I don’t sing. And singing to me has been more than a weekend warrior trait. I have recorded and released 35 of my songs over the past 6 years.

While singing is in my blood and it comes naturally to me, I think everyone can adopt this hobby as it has several reasons that will make you much healthier and happier.

Singing offers a wide range of physical, mental, and emotional benefits. Here are 20 potential benefits of singing:

1. Stress Reduction: Singing can help reduce stress levels by promoting relaxation and releasing tension.
2. Improved Breathing: Singing encourages deep and controlled breathing, promoting better lung capacity and respiratory health.
3. Increased Oxygen Flow: Singing enhances oxygenation in the body, leading to improved overall well-being.
4. Enhanced Mood: Singing triggers the release of endorphins, which can elevate mood and create a sense of happiness.
5. Boosted Immune System: The act of singing may positively influence the immune system, contributing to overall health.
6. Improved Posture: Proper singing technique often requires good posture, which can translate into better overall body alignment.
7. Strengthened Core Muscles: Singing engages core muscles, contributing to abdominal strength and stability.
8. Increased Confidence: Singing in front of others can boost self-esteem and confidence, helping individuals overcome shyness.
9. Improved Memory: Learning and memorizing song lyrics can enhance cognitive abilities and memory.
10. Social Connection: Singing in groups fosters a sense of community and social bonding.
11. Expression of Emotions: Singing allows individuals to express and release a range of emotions, promoting emotional well-being.
12. Cognitive Benefits: Singing requires mental focus, coordination, and multitasking, which can enhance cognitive abilities.
13. Language Skills: Singing can improve pronunciation, articulation, and language skills through the repetition of lyrics.
14. Increased Lung Capacity: Regular singing exercises the respiratory system, promoting better lung function and capacity.
15. Improved Sleep: Engaging in singing activities may contribute to better sleep patterns and quality of sleep.
16. Pain Reduction: Singing may have analgesic effects, reducing the perception of pain in some individuals.
17. Mindfulness and Presence: Singing encourages mindfulness and being present in the moment, promoting mental well-being.
18. Release of Tension: Singing can be a cathartic release, helping individuals let go of built-up tension and stress.
19. Improved Communication Skills: Singing enhances vocal communication skills, including pitch, tone, and modulation.
20. Fun and Enjoyment: Above all, singing is a pleasurable and enjoyable activity that brings joy and entertainment to individuals and communities.

Like always, I release my first song of the year on Valentine’s Day and this year will be no different. The song is almost ready and will be up by the 12th of February.
