Sadness is an emotion that describes a range of states, from disappointment to grief and is characterized by feelings of unhappiness. Even though sadness is not a pleasant emotion to experience, it is actually a vital emotion we should not ignore: sadness helps us process and reflect on our losses (P.G. Erickson, 2023). In music, sadness is not seen as a negative emotion but something pleasurable and sought after (Sachs et al., 2015). This is because of several factors, including the beauty of sad music, the lack of physical and social circumstances associated with sadness, and its aid in helping people cope with negative emotions. While listening to this playlist, try moving around and stretching to focus energy. However, it is essential to understand that specific exercises or movements may not work for everyone, the bottom line is to find the best form for oneself.
