One thing that helps me out when I’m having a rough day or just need to lighten up a little bit, is music.
Everyone loves music (at least, I believe everyone does). It doesn’t matter what you’re feeling – music has a way of switching your mood, depending on what you’re listening to.
Music can make you happy, make you cry, it can make you dance and sing.
So, I have a special inspirational playlist on Spotify that I created. I listen to it whenever I need a pick-me-up.
When it comes to creating a playlist that will inspire or motivate or lift you up, I have just two things to keep in mind when choosing songs.
A nice message
When creating this playlist I thought back to songs both old and new that held some sort of meaning or special message. You know, songs that are meant to lift you up and tell you you’re awesome.
My taste in music is all over the place. I have my favorite genres, of course, but I’ll listen to just about anything.
So, some of these songs are on the more classical side while others are pop or rock.
I like to listen the lyrics so I can sing along and lift myself up. The more you tell yourself positive things, the more your brain will believe it.
Upbeat
Speaking of being able to sing along, I like to have inspirational songs that are upbeat and energetic. I like to have the ability to sing and dance along with the songs.
Not only is the message nice but getting yourself up and moving around to the beat is a great thing to lift your mood.
Not every song on the playlist is energetic, but it’s nice to have a mixture of the two.
Give it a listen
I’ve been slowly adding to this playlist for a long time and it’s only about an hour long. I’m always looking for new songs to add to it. Feel free to leave some in the comments below!
Enjoy the playlist and I hope it helps you.
