Find your theme song

Today’s topic is a bit sillier in nature than some, however, many have still found it to be effective. During the 70’s my grandma was going through what not a lot of women were going through: divorce, and this right in the middle of the women’s liberation movement. While she would never be so brazen has to burn her bra, she did listen to songs like “I am woman” and “I will survive” over and over again until the vinyl was gouged deeply.

Most songs on the radio are written from someone’s experience, and the human within us can relate. It’s finding the RIGHT song, the right lyric, to get you through a difficult time that is key. While there can be a tendency to wallow, playing sad love song after sad love song at the end of a relationship, it’s perhaps healthier to find empowering music that lifts your spirits, fills your soul with a positive vibration that benefits healing, instead of inviting the lingering hurt to continue to overstay it’s welcome.

So find your song! Maybe you need to get psyched up for a big job interview, or you’re nervous before a presentation and want to calm your nerves. Having the right soundtrack can set the mood to help you on your path to excellence.
