We are our biggest critic. We're constantly reminding ourselves that we're too much this, or not enough that, but is all of our judgement worth? The last thing it does is encourage us. We already have enough pressure from the media, our peers, and family. None of it makes us aspire to love ourselves more or accomplish our goals. We need to give ourselves more credit and remind ourselves that we are more than enough. Sometimes music focuses on the negatives with break-ups, missed opportunities, and loss, to name a few. Of course, all of those things are apart of life, and aren't disappearing overnight. After our sulking, change needs to be made to make us feel weightless and clear our heads. A positive mindset can help us to fight our battles while feeling good about ourselves during the process. Here are 7 songs to help you get in the spirit.
1. Why Worry - Set It Off
The title says it all. When I'm stressing
over things that I cannot control, I have to stop and ask myself,
“why worry?” Worries combine to be quicksand and will pull you down without hesitation. So, take a deep breath. We have so much great things
surrounding us. Realize them, and worries will be hard to entertain.
2. The Middle - Jimmy Eat World
It's so easy to get lost in our heads and
totally fabricate negativity. This classic lets us rock
out to positive words. When you feel stuck in the middle, do your
best and know there are good times ahead.
3. Am I Pretty - The Maine
There is never a good reason to change who
we are to meet the expectations of others. “Am I Pretty?” is a
rhetorical question, because the answer is always going to be yes.
Let loose and celebrate what it means to be you.
4. Singing in the Rain - Simple Plan
It's pretty hard to be panic when listing to
this tune. Wrenches are made to be thrown into plans, but don't let
that change your outlook. Keep singing on, rain or shine.
5. I'm Good - The Mowgli's
This one is all about making the most of the
life we're given to make the world better place than it was. Even if
things don't go as you plan, sometimes you just have take it all in consideration remind yourself that it's all good.
6. Weightless - All Time Low
What kind of list would this be without these four dudes? They know bad days happen, but one day does
not speak for the entire year. Take control of the minutes passing and make it the best year yet.
7. Drive - Tonight Alive
Sometimes you just have to grab the wheel
and take your own path. Nothing will be as freeing or exhilarating.
Hakunah Matata, all.
