Having A Bad Day?

Here are some of my favorite songs to listen to when I'm not having a great day, or anytime really but specifically when I'm feeling down.

Here is the classic song that most people know and listen to to feel better.

Bad Day by Daniel Powter

 



 

This song is just a reminder that we each have a divine purpose. No matter how many times people make you feel worthless, you are here for a reason. You are a child of God. He cares about you immensly and loves you. He will never forget you. He is always here to help you.

Who I Am by David Archuleta

 

 

 I love how this song makes me aware that we aren't alone and we can fight whatever trial we are facing, no matter how impossible it may seem.

Face Up by Lights

 

 

In 2005, Andrew McMahon, the singer of the song Swim by Jack's Mannequin, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, but made a full recovery. If anyone understands what it means to fight your way through until the end, it's people like this. No matter what the trial, no matter how big or how small, don't give up. Keep going, the horizon is not as far as you think.

 

 

 

There may be valleys and low points in our lives, there may be mountains of various heights to climb, but the greatest feeling of all is reaching the top. If you give up on the journey, you will never know how amazing and rewarding it is at the top of the mountain.

Not that that has much to do with the song... but hey, it works.

Jump Rope by Blue October

 

 

 

This song speaks for itself and is so beautiful. There's also a quote from this singer, Rachel Taylor, that I really liked: "But the beauty of tragedy and ache, is the story we have after we persevere."

The One About Indiffernece by He Is We

 

 

When I'm feeling stressed out or upset, I find it comforting to take a deep breath, close my eyes, and listen to this song (although if your eyes are open, you will see some pretty amazing pictures). It helps me appreciate all of the little, and big, joys in life.

Something Beautiful by Newsboys

 

 

We have all made mistakes, but we can recover from them no matter how bad it is. That's what forgiveness is for. We all are given a second chance. As Matt Thiessen of the band Relient K said

"Take a good look at yourself and know
You've got yourself a ways to go
But difficult is not impossible
You can take back all the lost control
Take a good look at yourself and see
That you'll emerge eventually
As long as your heart's not too far gone
From the only thing that can save you from yourself

Forgiveness can be given when you think it can't
Cause with every passing second comes a second chance".

 

(the rest of the song wasn't entirely relevant but I really liked this part).

 

Have a fantastic day :)
