So I’ve been in a funk lately. Without getting into too many details, I keep falling into negative mindsets despite efforts not to. I was playing around with Spotify-dot-me recently and it told me a very sobering fact:
The majority of my favorite music is sad!!!!
Not specifically “Sad” by Adam Friedman—though it is on there—but music that is designed to make you feel melancholy, at best (“Sad” is actually somewhat of an uplifting song, interestingly enough).
I’ve been reading some articles this morning, and I realized that negative music really does have an influence on your mood, your mindset and, perhaps most importantly, what you attract into your life. That’s heavy stuff. Listening to woe-is-me, break-up or me-against-the-world songs is not going to bring a bunch of great things into my life, and certainly is not going to make me a happier person.
I decided to change starting today. I would like to share my new Spotify playlist, called “Positive Stuff,” with you:

I may add and delete songs depending on how my mood changes based on listening to this positive music. Let me know what you think or how the playlist is affecting you in the comments!
