This fine March day, I just want to give you a bit of a boost.
One of the most sure-fire ways to get me motivated or boost my confidence or give me an extra dose of happy is through music.
Music is powerful.
It sends a message.
Need proof?
Imagine you are sitting in the movie theater, the screen is black, and as the Warner Brothers logo fades into view, you hear the distinct tinkling notes of Hedwig's Theme.
Can you feel the thrill of magic?
Or imagine just this past Christmas break, where you are waiting on the edge of your seat in another dark movie theater. Suddenly the Star Wars logo appears and that well known theme is blaring in your ears, making your heart go to light speed.
Or imagine what a scary movie would be like without any music at all.
Not super scary anymore, is it?
Music. Is. Powerful.
So today, I'm going to give you a playlist.
Here are some songs that help me feel good about myself, about my life, and about other people.
The Middle - Jimmy Eat World
Great message, and a beat that will make you dance around your room in your Despicable Me onesie.
Enough - The Mrs
Yep, this is the song from the Magic Mirror Part Two post a couple of weeks ago. Super great for jamming out in front of your mirror.
You'll Be Okay - A Great Big World
This is a great one for when time are rough and it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Smile and Keep Your Head Up - Us the Duo
Lighthearted, great band, and good reminder.
Have You Ever - Brandi Carlile
Good song for taking a walk, realizing how good life really is.
Hold On Tight - Electric Light Orchestra
This one is perfect for dancing in the kitchen in your mismatched socks.
Although this is just a start, I hope it gives you some songs you can use to get a little more happy in your smile, a little more spring in your step, and a little more hope in your heart.
Here's the playlist, all ready for you:
I'll continue to add to it as I think of more and as you give suggestions!
So press play!
