If you’ve known me for any period of time, you know how much I love music! It holds such power to make us feel a certain way, and I use it for so many different scenarios! In this week’s blog post, I wanted to talk about using the power of music to your advantage.
Music is absolutely essential for me when I start my day, ESPECIALLY when it’s before 7am. My go to when I know I have to jump out of bed and get an early start is a song called Hustlin’ by Rick Ross. Now, I know rap isn’t everyone’s favorite, but this is my personal go-to when I need to get in the right mindset…and fast! It was recommended to me by a blogger I follow, Alyssa Tabit.

Another big way I use music is when I need to be up in my feels. I’ve found if you take the time to acknowledge your negative emotions, they are much easier to deal with and get over. So, I of course have a playlist for when I need a good cry. Below is a list of some of my favorite songs for different moods:
For when I need upbeat positivity:
Reflection: Fifth Harmony
Confident: Demi Lovato
Woman Up: Meghan Trainor
Let ‘Em Talk: Kesha
People Like Us: Kelly Clarkson
When I’m all up in my feels:
Come Wake me Up: Rascal Flatts
Torn: Glee Cast Version
Slow me Down: Sara Evans

Just Another Song: Lucy Hale
When I’m angry:
Famous: Kelleigh Bannen
Obsessed: Mariah Carey
