Top Positive Songs to Include in Your Optimistic Playlist

Post written by

 

Music is a way of life.

We hear music everywhere we go.

Personally, I love music.  Whatever mood I’m in, may it be sad, angry, scared or happy, music is my first to cling in.  It is part of my daily routine that’s why whatever I do,  like when I’m working, thinking, writing, relaxing, driving and even sleeping, my music is turned on.

In my previous post, The Rhythm of Life, I’ve compared life to music.  Just like music, life is best lived with a rhythm, a tone.  A lot like life, music has different moods too.  There is happy, sad, dance, hard-rock, rhythm and blues (RnB) or love songs.  The same is true with life, it’s not all about happy times, countless times, you’ll be faced with difficult moments that makes you feel sad, angry, scared or any other similar bad feeling.  At this time, when circumstances turn your positive mood to negative, it gets hard to shift back to positivity.  And as a result, your whole day is ruined.

Have you heard of the saying:

“Music heals the soul”

For me, this is definitely true, for I’ve experienced countless time where music helped me divert my bad moods to positive one.  And I hope to do the same to you.

If you want to begin creating positive changes in your life, start by choosing to be positive in every good or bad circumstances.  One way to do that is through having and listening to what I call “Optimistic Playlist”. Here are the Top Positive Songs to include in your Optimistic playlist.

    i like ur postes on life motivations and about finding the wonders of life and people.I find them really inspiring and about the same as my life.About positive songs u listed,there are some of them are the same as my positive song lists..i categorize them into positive songs which are to keep me up-spirited and full of energy and positive moods for example ‘world of our own’ and ‘one step at a time’ etc.and another type is slow positive songs which these songs give me strength when i face difficulties that i have to struggle to face no matter what for example the songs ‘the climb’ and ‘welcome to wherever you are’ etc

    I listen these songs, they are great.
    But my favourit songs these days is Think Positive from Daniel Johns Think Positive Album, there are some more great songs in the album also that I listen to. The song Think Positive makes me keep going when I feel sad and need to be believe with warm feeling and just hanging there to get through.
