Plz leave me some ideas DX they have to be psychological! Preferably something I haven't done yet!

》Just like exercising, singing releases endorphins.

》Singing appears to be a stress-reliever. A 2017 study measured the amount of cortisol, the stress hormone, in participant's saliva before and after they sang.

》To date, researchers have found that singing improves the speaking ability for people with:

autism
Parkinson's disease
aphasia following a stroke
stuttering

Singing stimulates multiple areas of the brain at the same time. This may enable people with an impairment in one part of the brain to communicate using other areas of their brain.

》Making music in any form is relaxing. Singing releases stored muscle tension and decrease the levels of a stress hormone called cortisol in your bloodstream.

》People with Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia experience a gradual loss of memory. Studies have shown that people with these conditions were able to recall song lyrics more easily than other words.

》There's some evidence that singing may boost your immune system and help you fight off illnesses. A 2004 study compared the effects of singing with the effects of simply listening to music. In two separate sessions, research subjects either sang or listened to music.

》In a 2019 study conducted among people dealing with grief, researchers found that for those who sang in a choir, depression symptoms didn't get worse over time and their sense of wellbeing remained stable.

》A 2012 study found that singing, drumming, and dancing in a group triggers the release of hormones that raise your pain tolerance in ways that just listening to music doesn't.

》Researchers in a 2008 study interviewed the spouses of choir members, along with the spouses of people who don't sing.
The researchers found that significantly fewer choir members snored. This led them to recommend regular singing as a potential treatment for snoring.

》Studies have shown that the breathing techniques used with singing may offer benefits for people with the following conditions:

chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD)
asthma
cystic fibrosis
cancer
multiple sclerosis
quadriplegia

While singing doesn't treat or cure any of these conditions, you may benefit from gain

》Singing in groups creates social bonds and friendships, due to the endorphins and other feel-good chemicals being released.

》Multiple studies have been conducted that prove singing as a part of a group also provides numerous physical and emotional benefits. Researchers have discovered that singing is soothing and does indeed raise one's spirits and mood.

》Several studies have concluded that singers and musicians typically have higher IQs than non-musicians. Singing can improve your overall brain function and help you think a little clearer.

》Research has consistently shown that the synchronization of music with repetitive exercise provides enhanced physical performance, helping people both work out for longer and train more efficiently.

》Whether you realize it or not, when you sing, even if just to yourself while you're doing something else, your brain becomes mindlessly focused on that one particular task at hand.

》Singing is really a very complex process, involving various areas of our brain:
There is the linguistic aspect which is different from vocal production which in turn is different from the sense of line.
Add different languages and you get yet more synapses firing, more brain elements in full use.

》According to an article in The Guardian, singing to babies helps prepare their brains for language. Music is just as important as teaching reading and writing at a young age to prevent language problems later in life.
