Songs to Keep You Going
by Stephanie Small

Achieving a goal is a powerful thing.

Sometimes we lose motivation along the way. We beat ourselves up for slipping, doubt our ability to make it. We can’t work up the drive to work out. The cruel things we’ve heard in the past echo in our head.

To fight these demons, we need to summon our strength. And music’s a great way to do it.

Some of these suggestions will inspire you and some of them will make you laugh. Either way they’ll shift your mood and get you out of the funk.  Feel free to contribute your own via comments!

      Some of these songs are little soft. I would add “Jump” by Van Halen. Also, I’m surprised “I’m So Excited” by the Pointer Sisters didn’t make the list.

      Thank you – both are good additions. The soft ones are for restorative yoga ;)
