Hi all!
I've been trying many things to try to improve my mood. One of the best tools for manipulating our mood is music. I recently was given an Echo Dot for "talking to the internet", and I've found its best function is asking it to play top songs by a particular artist. I keep my Dot in the bathroom so I can talk to it while showering.
Lately I've been listening to the Allman Brothers, particularly these two tracks:
Jessica
Blue Sky
Today, our gracious and benevolent mod John C. reminded me of another group with some very uplifting songs: the Bee Gees! And so i listened to THIS in today's shower:
What a great suggestion, as I'm ready and motivated to go to work even though it's about to storm like a beast. They're right, i SHOULD be dancin'! LOL
Please feel free to post a vid of one of your favorite, uplifting jams. Anything that gets you out of feeling blue, and puts a smile on your face instead.
P.s. the format for making your video appear, is to simply put the random letter name of the YT video, inside the html bracket tags. Like this:

(but with brackets flipped correctly)

You are absolutely right - music can be a great thing to use to improve your mood.
One of my fav songs to listen to when I need a pick me up is this one - hope you like it.
But here is another one of their songs. It’s a pretty awesome one too. And it’s really upbeat.
Boy Meets Girl - Waiting for a Star to Fall
I like this song very much and feels happy listening to it
Yes! That’s a great one! Love it! I’ll post it for you, Rhi
Bob Marley - Dont Worry Be Happy
I am more familiar with this song. More mainstream
Lou Reed - Perfect Day
This song helps to calm my messed up mind when I am highly agitated and having a headache
Another upbeat song for me
Shania Twain - Today Is Your Day
This is a get going song. I got to know it at motivational seminar, I think Anthony Robbins
During motivational seminar, we were made to listen to this song many times. So that we felt guilty for being such a terrible man. It brought tears to many participants
Awesome upbeat 80s song
A go for holiday song
A song that gets you on your feet and forget about your worries
A happy song for me
Imagine Dragons - Believer.
A more recent song telling me to hit the gym
A personal fav of mine, @168sean168
