THE RIGHT SONG




Recently, the songs that I keep hearing, whether in my car or at a store or a friends home, have been songs that I need at that moment or day. I call them my "life me up" songs.

I am now tuning in to the music as a way to turn off my mind and just listen to the song playing. I usually listen to soft rock so nothing so crazy. 

When I am in the car with my kids, I love seeing them jamming away to songs that they love. They really get tuned in and want me to turn up the volume in the car. I don't talk to them or interrupt them if they are in the zone listening to music but I just watch them. It fills my heart with so much joy. 

I find that the more I pay attention to the way I am feeling, usually a lot of times, the right music will come to lift my spirits up  if I am down or lift it even higher if I am already in a de-stressed mood. I really does help you in amazing ways.

For those of you who work out know that having the right kind of music really helps to give you the boost in your workout. I love my  boot camp class where the music is so loud and just the right kind of music for me. It makes the workout go fast and also gives you the energy push to get through it. But even then, the right song can really push you to your peak as you are working out especially if you relate your personal experiences to the words of the song.

I know its just randomly something that will come on but it just seems such a coincidence. Just the right mix!!. The other day when I was driving home, the song have it all by Jason Mraz came on. It immediately took my back to when I first heard it at my daughters kindergarten graduation ceremony. I remember tearing up hearing it and just watching her growing up so quickly. I then silently said to myself "I pray that you have it all baby and so much more". I also then wished it upon myself!!!

Sometimes we just hear songs just for the sake of having some noise in the background if we are not used to the quiet. I tune into what ever song is playing wherever I am. Once I was driving home and "Girls just wanna have fun" came on the radio the day before my friends and I went out for  moms night out. So I kept imagining, while the song was playing, all the fun we were going to have the next day and we sure did. It's just a coincidence I know but amazing. I will take it. 

The other day, I was really feeling blue. When I got in my car, the song "Hold on" by Wilson Phillips came one and instantly made me feel better. I got the encouragement to really hold on.This has happened so many times where every time I am feeling stressed or just tired or down, there is always that right song to lift me up. One of my favorite pick me up song is by Lee Ann Womack, "I hope you dance". 

There are just times when a song comes on that takes me to a different place sometimes even to my past. You just all of a sudden remember either the first time you heard it or the song relating to your personally maybe with something that you are going through. Recently it seems like the songs that I hear are exactly what I need and it totally changes my day from the time I hear it.

I find being in my car especially on the way back home and tuning in to the music is a great way to de-stress. A lot of times, the song will remain in my head even after I come home!!! 

So my friends, maybe you can relate to what I am saying. Really tune in to the songs that you hear throughout your day and I am sure it will speak to you or just listen to it for fun. Either ways, it will do wonders for you!


Wish you love my friends!!!

Peace,
Monita
