“How To Feel Good” The most complicated things made easy… Suggestion – music?

“How To Feel Good” The most complicated things made easy… Suggestion – music?

If you’re unfortunate enough to be a member of the human race, then every now and again you’ll suffer from bouts of depression or feeling low. Maybe this applies to other species too, but I have no firsthand experience being anything but a human male.

A valuable, simple tip for helping someone feeling down perk up is music. Yup, we’ve all heard that cliche, listen to some good music and it’ll make your spirits lift. But I’m not referring to what your average person defines as “good” music. I’m referring to songs that make you smile and feel happy, maybe a song from your past that you used to sing all the time, maybe it’s something you’ve been listening to recently, whatever it is, indulge.

Sing it as loud as you can, and dance away if you choose.

Depending on your comfort level, do it in private or in public, whatever makes you happy. Essentially you need to feel good, and as long as you’re not hurting anyone else, who cares what you do?

My personal pick, with my lowered mood at the moment was Tony Toni Tone’s “Let’s Get Down” featuring DJ Quik. It brought me back to my mid-teens, sitting in front of “The Box” music channel and loving the sounds and setup of that video.
