Music can be a very powerful tool we can use. I find music says to and for me what my mouth cannot say at the time. Make a playlist of POSITIVE music/songs that you like that are encouraging in your recovery journey. You can play this anytime which is the beautiful thing about music. DO NOT put any negative music on this playlist. The purpose of this technique is to help you to remember that you can do this. In fact, I titled my playlist “I got this”. Some of the songs I have on my playlist are (remember these are only suggestions):
My fight song by Rachel Platten
I am woman (for those of us who are female) by Helen Reddy
I’m still standing by Elton John
Girl on Fire (again for those of us who are female) by Alicia Keys
Who Says by Selena Gomez
This is Me by Kaela Settle
Invincible by Pat Benetar
The Climb by Miley Cyrus
Beautiful by Christine Aguilera
Brave by Sara Bareilles
I will Survive by Gloria Gayner
Rise by Katy Perry
Stronger by Kelly Clarkston
Wings of Recovery
