Mary Ann from "Don't burst my bubble" is doing a week of post about self love ( you can check it out her blog Here) . Anyway it has really got me thinking about ways I try to get myself to feel confident in myself. To me music is a very powerful thing. I thought I would share a few songs that empower me , a favorite line from each and why they mean so much to me.
Put your records on- Corinne Bailey Rae
" you're gonna find yourself somewhere , somehow."
This song is laid back yet you can still move to it. It says that it's ok that you don't have everything perfect and you may be afraid. It encourages us to let loose and follow our dreams. When I sing this song , I feel I can add my own style and soul to it.
And Run - He is we
" stop bringing my self down, I got to know what makes me great"
This song is about finding the courage to go your own way and make your own decision. I'm at the point in my life where I am starting to grow up and making my own plans. It's kind of scary but like it says "take a breath and run". Just go for it. It's about opening your mind to all the options in the world and building the confidence to take chances.
Fight song- Rachel Platten
" all those things I didn't say, wreaking balls inside my brain , I will scream them loud tonight .can you hear my voice this time?"
This summer , I've kind of felt like I'm in a rut. I've been emotional and unmotivated. This month I've been starting to get out of it and this song has really been inspiration. It's easy to just stay the same but we are meant to move forward to do great things. We need to believe in ourselves and keep fighting till we make it out of the dark.
Just fine - Mary J. Blige
" so I like what I see when I'm looking at me when I'm walking past the mirror"
This is a song that promotes loving your self and your life. Being happy with who you are and not letting anything get you down. This song always makes me want to dance.
Beautiful things- Gungor
"you make beautiful things out of us"
This is a religious song that talks about how we are made beautifully by God and he makes us new.
My self image has always been low , being so skinny and having skin problems. It helps me to remember that God made me how he likes me and he doesn't make mistakes.
The best damn thing- Avril Lavigne
Avril is a BA , let me just say that to start off with that. She doesn't care what people think and I like that confidence she has. This song is about knowing your worth and making sure your guy treats you right. It's like" I know I'm crazy but I'm awesome".
KIng of anything- Sara barellies
"waiting for someone to tell me it's my turn to decide"
Most of my life, I have been a people pleaser . That isn't always a bad thing but it could be unhealthy when you let people control you and you don't have say in what you want in life. Plus , you can't please everyone.
Take me or leave me - From the musical Rent
"take me for what I am , who I was meant to be"
Despite being sung by lesbians, I think any girl should have the confidence in themselves to not change themselves for someone she likes. Saying , You can take me as I am , flaws and all, or leave me. To me this song is about being comfortable with who you are.
Brave - Sara Barellies
"Let your words be anything but empty"
Sara barellies is one of my inspirations and this song is another favorite because I really connect with it. I've always been the quiet type but I am working on speaking up.
What songs motivate you?
Rock on ,
- Adorkable Darling
