Some people work better with music, others without. But one thing is for certain: a study done by the Journal of Positive Psychology found that listening to music improves mood. Even more interesting, listening to happy or sad music can change your outlook on how you perceive the world. Here are a few songs that can brighten up any bad day:
“Keep Your Head Up” by Andy Grammer: “I know it’s hard, know it’s hard, to remember sometimes, but you gotta keep your head up”
“Here Comes the Sun” by The Beatles: “Here comes the sun, here comes the sun, It’s all right, it’s all right”
“Unwritten” by Natasha Bedingfield: “Staring at the blank page before you, open up the dirty window, let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find … No one else can feel it for you”
“Carry On” by FUN: “May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground. Carry on. Carry on, carry on.”
