Last Week’s Strategy

Last week’s strategy was to make a conscientious effort to replace my continual negative thoughts with positive ones. This was a challenging task. I often find when I’m in a rut of negativity in can be hard to break the habit of thinking negative things.

However, since I made a pact to increase my positive thoughts, I think I had a better awareness of when I was thinking negatively. I will continue with this strategy and I hope that with time I will say nice things to (and about) myself.

This Week’s Strategy

Over the past couple of days, I have embarked on the project of assembling three play lists. I am making one for my upcoming road trip to the mountains and two for the birth of my baby (one for early labour and one for when I’m in transition/pushing).

This project has made me realize how little I’ve listened to music lately. I drive to and from work in silence. I clean my house in silence. I do much of my activities in silence. As comforting as peace and serenity can be, I feel I’ve been missing the joy and energy that comes from good music.

This week, I would like to reconnect with my musical side. I want to blast some tunes, cut loose, do a crazy dance and tinker on my guitar. With that being said, I would like to share the song that I’ve listened to several times today.

I’ve been wrestling with antepartum depression and this winter has been a long and dreary one. With spring finally here and optimism overtaking my depression, Florence + the Machine’s song, Dog Days Are Over, seems like the perfect melody to celebrate a new season in my life. This song makes me want to run out my house into a field while belting out this tune and dancing my craziest dance!
