Feeling like you’re in a rut? Not sure what to do with your life or know and don’t know how to get there? Is there something stopping you? I hate to say it but a lot of the time, it’s you that’s stopping you. What you need is some motivation. Love music? Does it inspire you? Well here is my list of Top Motivational Songs to get you in gear.
Do Something – The Luminites
You’re in a funk. I get it. Now get out of it. I know, it’s easier said than done but if you want something bad enough, you have to get off your ass and do it. Do you think Einstein just pondered E = MC2 to himself all his life? Get out there! Do Something!
Don’t You Worry Child – Swedish House Mafia
First step to motivation. Calm Down. Breathe. And don’t worry. Everything turns out okay in the end, so don’t worry.
Let It Go – Idina Menzel
Let it go. Let go of all your inhibitions and insecurities. You have to start believing in yourself and once you can do that, then your ideas, wishes and dreams will balloon with faith.
Go Your Own Way – Fleetwood Mac
Don’t let anyone else tell you what to do. Sure, take advice and accept the support of your loved ones, but at the end of the day this is your life. You have the reins, you make the decision. Go your own way.
Here’s To Everything – Misha B
Embrace all of your mistakes and allow them to teach you. Then, celebrate yourself. Every flaw, every mistake and smile. You’ve made it this far, you’re doing well. So here’s to everything!
I’m On My Way – Charlie Brown
You’re going to get the usual questions from people, especially if you’re in a rut of unemployment. “When are you going to get a job?” – well then…. You know what? I’m on my way.
Keep Your Head Up – Ben Howard
It’s going to be hard. Get pumped and motivated without taking a few steps back but keep your head up. Stay strong and stay true. You’ve got this!
Sexy Lady – Jessie J
Love you. Love everything about you! Every aspect carries you through this tough life so respect yourself a little more. You don’t want you leaving before the end of the show. It isn’t even Intermission yet!
Someday – Tinie Tempah ft Ella Eyre
We all dream. We all lie awake at night wishing for our greatest desires; whether it’s the person we crush on to ask us out, our dream job, some money or an altogether better life, we, as humans, dream. Embrace that. Because if you work hard, someday all your dreams will come true.
Shot At The Night – The Killers
Give anything a go. Try everything! I hate to say it but…you only live once. Live a good one. You need stories for future generations and a pride smile on your frail lips when you’re in your 90s.
Not Giving In – Rudimental ft John Newman
It’s time to put on your armour and get out there. Believe in yourself! You can do this!
What Doesn’t Kill You – Kelly Clarkson
Very famous words – and true. Now you have your belief, you have to stop being scared. You have to risk falling flat on your face sometimes to succeed. And anyway, if you do face plant, just pick yourself back up again. No harm done. What doesn’t kill you…
Skyfall – Adele
An epic song for an epic film. Become the creator, not the follower. If the sky falls, you are strong enough to withstand anything.
Work Bitch – Britney Spears
No one said it would be easy. You have to work for it. Whatever it is that you want to achieve, challenge yourself and always keep your goal in mind. Put that destination in your personal SATNAV and drive. Work bitch!
The Fighter – Gym Class Heroes
You are a fighter. Believe it, feel it and wear it. Even give yourself a warrior name so that if anything or anyone tries to penetrate your beliefs or attempts to plant seeds of doubt, it’s the Warrior inside of you they’re hurting. Big mistake.
Roar – Katy Perry
A great mantra in the mirror every morning. Grrrr! Shatter your windows with your deafening almighty roar! Come face me world!
She Wolf – David Guetta ft Sia
You are a She Wolf (or a He Wolf)! Like before, take on board your inner strength and carry it with you in no matter what you desire. That job interview? That first date? First day of University? Be a Wolf.
Titanium – David Guetta ft Sia
These two are great motivators together! Tell yourself now, you are Titanium. As Eleanor Roosevelt once said, No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. Because you’re Titanium!
Radioactive – Imagine Dragons
Need I say it? You can see the pattern. Pop this tune on in the morning or in the car and allow the music and lyrics to consume you. Don’t just believe it, believe in yourself.
Hall of Fame – The Script ft Will.I.Am
Whether it’s a quick process or a long journey ahead of you, keep these mantras and your own in mind and keep going. One day, you’ll be in the Hall of Fame or you know what?… just happy. Whatever you desire, believe in it and yourself enough and you will get it.
Euphoria – Loreen
Euphoria.
Define: a feeling or state of intense excitement and happiness
“In his euphoria, he had become convinced he could defeat them”
Hear that world. Suck it.
Wonder – Emeli Sande
You are wonderful. Flaws and all. Sing it, scream it, whatever you do… believe it. Be it.
Breathe Again – Sara Bareilles
This is a much slower song that can be seen as said but I think music is all about interpretation. For me, this song is for the Come Down. A time to access everything you’ve done, everything you are and everything you will become.
Explosions – Ellie Goulding
Put up your sails now and ride those waves. You will have many storms ahead.
Free – Rudimental ft Emeli Sande
Do you feel it? A clear mind and clear path ahead of you? It may only be for a while but now you can take on the next challenge with a braver heart.
All These Things That I’ve Done – The Killers
And the end, you can look and smile. Look at all the things you’ve done. Be proud, it wasn’t easy.
Rest Of My Life – Ludacris
Whilst you’re roaring and being a Warrior, don’t forget the people around you. Some may doubt, some may sneer but the ones that matter will be there to support you no matter what. Cherish those people. And have some fun. It is summer after all and nothing makes you feel better than a smile.
I hope I’ve been some help but always remember that this is your journey, your path. Be the leader of your life. You are the star after all.
