Some days, we are in control. Some days, we succumb to the swirling chaos inside of us that pulls our minds and hearts in 1,000 different directions. We are poked and prodded by the fears, hopes, anxieties, dreams and burdens within until they have created a new sense of self within us, like a chemical reaction between substances that have taken on a new form. For those days when we lose ourselves, or even those days when we could use a change of pace, here are ten songs to bring refreshment, peace of mind, and perhaps even a challenge to open yourself to possibilities or thoughts not yet swirling around inside your head.

1. Surprise Yourself by Jack Garratt.

Take the song's advice: "Let go and surprise yourself."

2. Catch and Release by Matt Simons.

A great song to reflect on your day. This one never gets old.

3. Rise Up by Andra Day.

Need a confidence booster? Here's your solution.

4. Swim by Jack's Mannequin.

For all those days when we are drowning in our own heads.

5. Here Comes The Sun by The Beatles.

A classic reminder that the best is yet to come.

6. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For by U2.

Most of us haven't, and that's more than ok.

7. Lucky by Kat Edmonson.

We could all do to count our blessings.

8. Follow the Sun by Xavier Rudd.

Sometimes it's best to surrender our plans and just follow the sun.

9. A Change is Gonna Come by Ben Sollee.

We won't have these worries forever.

10. Hello My Old Heart by The Oh Hellos.

Never lose sight of who you want to be, but don't forget to also remember who you have been.
