I love music. It lifts me up when I'm feeling down, helps me celebrate when I'm up, motivates me when I'm working, and acts as inspiration when I just want to sit and contemplate life for a little while.
Because of the emotion that often accompanies a melody, music can also be a powerful affirmation.
I encourage you to pay attention to what you're listening to, in the wake of our week of mindfulness.
I noticed a few years ago that a lot of my favorite songs included some very negative lyrics. The songs sounded happy, but they truly were not. I also noticed many instances where these lyrics had actually manifested in my life. It's amazing how our unconscious mind will absorb the stories we present to it and make them our own.
Now I must admit that I haven't completely given up all songs with stories I wouldn't like to have, but since our state of health is really about what we do 80% of the time, I decided to make a Positivity Playlist that I can listen to when I need a boost. And I have decided to share some of those songs with you! If you have any suggestions, please let me know in the comments below. There will be a song posted every Monday to keep you going all week long.
And now, the song that inspired this post!
