Last week, we discussed how a change in your surroundings can replace negative reminders and provide instant gratification. One of the first items on the list was having a music player or iPod speaker in your surroundings to have uplifting music at your fingertips. I said that I would share some uplifting tunes on my playlist in a future blog. Here are a few
- Rise Up – Andra Day
- Just Do You – India.Arie
- Roar – Katy Perry
- I Trust You – James Fortune & FIYA
- Coming Out of the Dark – Gloria Estefan
- Fly Like a Bird – Mariah Carey
- I Didn’t Know My Own Strength – Whitney Houston
- Never Stop – Brand New Heavies
- This Is It – Kenny Loggins
- Seattle – Mary Mary
- Beautiful – Christina Aguilera
- Survivor – Destiny’s Child
- When I’m Back on My Feet Again – Michael Bolton
- The Living Proof – Mary J. Blige
- Fight Song – Rachel Platten
- Brave – Sara Bareilles
- Rise – Katy Perry
- My Wish – Rascal Flatts
- Through the Storm – Yolanda Adams
- Conqueror – Estelle
This is not an exhaustive list, but a few to get you started. Some are songs that I listed to when I wake up, some I listen to when I’m working out; all have helped motivate and inspire me to be amazing in my new normal. These songs are definitely part of my “soundtrack”. I hope they prove uplifting for you, too. Please let me know which ones you like and others that should be added to the list.
