Music tends to accompany events that arouse emotions or otherwise make strong impressions on ussuch as weddings and graduations. These kinds of experiences form strong memories, and the music and memories likely become

13、 intertwined (紧密相连) in our neural (神经的) networks, according to Julene Johnson, a professor at the University of California. Movements, such as dancing, also often pair with our experience of music, which can help form memories. Even many years later, hearing the music can bring back memories of thes

38、fallen apart. Really, theres nothing worse than not being able to enjoy life because something is stuck in your head that wont go away.So what worry actually is all about? The mind likes to anchor itself to the known. Worry is a symptom of the deep-rooted fear you experience when you have to walk in
