Your Work Stress Playlist Is Making You Sick (Why Sade Lowers Cortisol)

Описание: Access to "The Smooth Playlist" - https://tinyurl.com/yvn4299n

Your commute home shouldn’t feel like a war zone. But if you’re blasting high-stress music after work, your nervous system is literally working against you—keeping cortisol high when it should be coming down.
I’m Rodney BE, and here at Blue Pulse Lounge we use Hip-Hop, R&B, Jazz + neuroscience to turn your playlist into therapy.

In this episode of Commute Therapy, we’ll break down:
• Why your “driving playlist” might be making your anxiety and irritability worse
• How Entrainment makes your heart rate and breathing sync to the beat
• What chronic cortisol and commute stress do to your mood when you walk in the door
• Why Sade is a biologically calming “hero” artist for the after-work drive
• The Driveway Decompression ritual you can use tonight before you step into the house
I also put together a “Decompression Drive” playlist built around smooth, low-arousal R&B to help your nervous system actually clock out.
