Do you have a go-to song?
A song you listen to when you need that extra bit of encouragement? That extra motivation to keep pushing through?
I have those songs, but I also need another kind of song.
A song that gives me permission to just stop. Stop trying to be so strong. Stop trying to hold it all together. Stop trying to keep it all inside.

I don’t know why I can’t post comments on your blog. It’s the strangest thing.
I love this post! I like the song too!
My go-to songs are: Miley Cyrus “The Climb” — someone sent that to me early on after my accident and I always used to put it on during PT
Gloria Estefan “Coming out of the Dark” – she was hurt badly in a tour bus accident and she wrote this about her recovery.
Pharrell Williams – Happy – just a wonderful song that gets me up when I’m down
Eminem – Lose Yourself – i actually used to listen to this before a big court argument or trial – it’s all about just having one shot and don’t mess it up! so i started to listen to it during my PT as well.
so there you have it!
