Nothing beats a good song. In fact, according to Psychology Today, “the emotions evoked by music don’t just feel good — they’re healthy for you, too. A meta-analysis of 400 music studies found that listening to music has the ability to reduce anxiety, fight depression and boost the immune system,” which is an amazingly awesome thing.
Over the past year or so I was really struggling to find any music that spoke to me. I was just dealing with some life-changing events and in a pretty dark place–I found myself emotionally numb to just about any and everything. I’m not really sure what exactly snapped me out of it and brought me back into the land of the living, but I’m thankful to be here.
And it’s why I’m going to start a Tuesday #TunesDay series to share some songs that I find to be somehow motivational, inspirational, affirmative, and/or soothing.
Personally, I’m a sucker for strong meaningful lyrics, and this week I’m sharing Rhys Lewis‘ “Better Than Today,” which I discovered on Spotify last week. It just leaves me feeling somehow peaceful and hopeful. I really like it. Have a listen and see what you think.
What are some of your favorites for lifting your spirits or keeping you motivated?
Best to all,
