What is your favorite pick me up song?

2024/2/6 Edited to

... Read moreYou know those days when you just don't feel like yourself? For me, music is always the first thing I turn to. It’s amazing how a few chords and some heartfelt lyrics can completely shift your perspective. I’ve spent countless hours curating playlists for every mood, but my 'pick-me-up' playlist is truly special. It's full of tracks that empower me, make me feel seen, and remind me of my inner strength. When I'm having a rough day, throwing on these tunes is my instant mood booster. When I'm feeling low, songs like Kehlani's 'Deserve Better' are essential. Her honest lyrics about self-worth and moving forward are incredibly relatable. It’s not just about her newer hits; her earlier work often carries that same powerful message that resonates deeply, making her a go-to for those deep emotional boosts. Similarly, Tierra Whack and Beyoncé's 'MY POWER' is an instant energy booster. It's hard not to feel invincible when that track comes on, making you want to conquer the world! Jhené Aiko’s 'P*$$Y Fairy (OTW)' brings a different kind of confidence – a smooth, self-assured vibe that's perfect for embracing your sensuality and inner goddess, truly helping you own your space. Then there are the songs that just make you want to celebrate your wins, big or small. Ariana Grande’s 'successful' is fantastic for that. It's a vibrant, catchy reminder of all you've achieved and how much more you're capable of. And when I need a moment of introspection that eventually leads to hope, Billie Eilish’s 'my future' is perfect. It acknowledges vulnerability but gently guides you towards a more positive outlook, reminding us that better days are ahead. Kiana Ledé’s 'Cancelled.' also hits different when you’re navigating feelings of being misunderstood or underestimated, offering a great emotional release and a sense of reclaiming your narrative. I also love discovering independent artists who create magic. Lawrence's 'Freckles' has such a charming, uplifting quality that always puts a smile on my face, a gentle reminder of the simple joys. And speaking of unapologetic empowerment, Emmy Meli’s 'I AM WOMAN' is an absolute anthem! It’s one of those songs that you just have to belt out, celebrating everything amazing about being a woman and your unique power. Tyla Jane’s 'Energy' is another gem that helps me shake off any negativity and inject some vibrant zest into my day, perfect for getting you moving. Creating your own pick-me-up playlist is a form of self-care in itself. It's an active way to nurture your well-being. Think about what kind of energy you need at any given moment. Do you need something to make you dance and forget your worries? Something to validate your feelings and then gently lift you up? Or something to simply transport you to a happier, more peaceful place? Don't be afraid to mix genres and artists – sometimes the most unexpected combinations create the best vibe. The key is to find songs that genuinely resonate with you and that you can turn to whenever you don't feel like your best self. Music truly is medicine for the soul, and having a curated list of feel-good tunes is like having a personal cheer squad in your pocket, ready to boost you up anytime, anywhere.

When I’m sad I love to listen to gospel music. I can’t say there’s one specific song, but if I had to listen to one on repeat constantly, it would be The Story I’ll Tell by Maverick city. There’s nothing I praise the Lord to get my spirit back in the right space and remind me to have faith in his w
