Top 10 Songs to Get You Pumped Up

I spend a lot of time alone in my house. It comes with the territory of being a military spouse. So in order to get out of my own head and get myself feeling excited about doing the things around the house that I hate to do (Dishes I am talking to you!), I have created a playlist called “Feelin’ It” on my Spotify Account. 

You can find it here, https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7MPvzGzTEiNF9XqDjMKilJ. 

Typically when I have chores to do around the house I will make sure I have my comfy clothes on, which consist of leggings and one of my husbands sweatshirts, then I put on this playlist to get me going and pump me up! I also use this playlist in the car to motivate myself for whatever I am about to do. And I even use some of these songs to help me manifest and develop some positive self talk. Music can be used for a lot of things!!

Without further ado, here is my list of the top ten songs to get you pumped up! For even more ideas, check out my playlist.

1. Roaring 20s by Panic! At The Disco
2. Bad Girls by M.I.A.
3. S.L.U.T. by Bea Miller
4. Thumbs by Sabrina Carpenter
5. Grow a Pear by Kesha
6. M.I.L.F. $ by Fergie
7. Last Resort by Papa Roach
8. Work Bitch by Britney Spears
9. Get Ur Freak On by Missy Elliott
10. Tonight Tonight by Hot Chelle Rae

Ok, so that wasn’t enough! I am going to add ten more songs that help me get pumped up!

My Feelin’ It playlist has over 180 songs from a wide variety of artists and genres.

Reasons these songs are on my list:

1. It is upbeat
2. It connects with me
3. It helps me get out of my own head and listen to others thoughts and feelings inside the music
4. It makes my body move

You can use my list, but I also suggest trying to make your own. Here is a way to start exploring that option!

Ask yourself these questions:

1. What songs do I like to dance to?
2. What songs remind me of happy moments in my life?
3. What sounds relax me?
4. What sounds calm me?
5. What songs do I know ALL the words to?

Start with those answers and then just add more whenever you can. You’ve got this!

Warmly,
