A Much Needed Dose Of Positivity

There are moments in our lives that we feel that everything around us is going wrong, and we feel that there is nothing we can do to fix it. From a very early age, I discovered something simple that no matter what I was going through, it would make me happy. This of course is: MUSIC.

Music is something powerful that in a matter of seconds into a song, it can alter your mood. It can make you happy, sad, angry, and even feel loved. Music can also change how you feel about a situation, and even provide you with a much needed dose of POSITIVITY.

These past week has been a bit crazy for me, but I’ve created a playlist on Spotify that has helped me through it. I want to share with you all the top three songs that can help alter your mood.

• Breathe – Telepopmusik – Listening to this song was a morning and afternoon routine for my sister and I. Whenever we drove to and from work (we worked at the same office) we listened to this song. The lyrics simple: “Another day here, just breathe.” I think we forget to just stop and breathe. We are consumed by life’s crazy-ness, and we don’t stop to take care of ourselves. WE ARE FRAGILE and MUST BREATHE! Make it your routine to listen to this song and take a few minutes to breathe. 

•  Such Great Heights – The Postal Service – There is something about the first few notes in this song that just puts your heart at ease, and makes you stop for just a second. Then the song start and their voices and the lyrics take you on an happy journey that you just can’t help but bop your head and feel happy. You might just want to play it and dance around to the beat! (You should all click on the hyperlink and do this now! Go ahead! I’ll wait a minute or two!

• Hoppipolla – Sigur Ros – The English translation of the title of this song is “Jumping in a puddle.” When was the last time you jumped in a puddle? Probably when you were a kid and thought it would be fun to get everyone around you wet! This song just builds. Close your eyes as you listen to it, and let it take you away to a world full of endless possibilities! A world where all your worries are gone, and you are set free! A world that only you can make it a reality! Be inspired!
