Three Tune Tuesday - Staying Motivated

The past few days have been hectic for me, both physically and mentally. I have concluded that I am drained. I’ve had to deal with different emotions and honestly, it’s been difficult managing all those emotions within me. At a point, I just had to burst out cause it was too much but I felt better afterwards. The fact is that as humans we can’t control the outcome of most events and most times when the outcome is negative we tend to have to deal with the mental effect it has on us.

I had to deal with a piece of bad news and dealing with bad news has never been my type of thing because I hate failure, rejections, bad news, and anything that just makes me unhappy. So dealing with this news was quite difficult for me. Well, I am fine now and in the next phase of life. Most times this bad news just helps beautify our success stories.

It’s another Three Tune Tuesday and today I will be writing on the three songs that helped me pick myself up after a couple of terrible days. These songs helped me realize that no matter how bad something turns out there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. By the way, why didn’t they leave the light at the beginning of the tunnel it would have been so easy for many of us hehe… I chose these songs because they serve as a motivation to me.

The First Tune is ** Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)** by Kelly Clarkson this song was released on 21 October 2011. Listening to this song always makes me feel better. Whenever I listen to it, the chorus tends to be my favorite part. The fact that you might be going through things but as long as those things didn’t kill you, it makes you stronger. I’m someone that whenever something terrible happens I tend to cry out my eyes till they are swollen, but this song makes me realize that What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger, I become stronger and move on with life.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller

Second Tune is Unstoppable by Sia, This song was released in 2016. This song has been my all-time favorite even as an undergraduate in school. I would always listen to this song whenever I was studying for a difficult exam. It made me feel so confident about myself and no matter how difficult the course seems, I am confident and unstoppable. These days, I just sit down and listen to Unstoppable by Sia. It still has the same effect on me as it did in the past years. No matter how many disappointments I get “I am unstoppable”

I'm so confident
Yeah, I'm unstoppable today

The third Tune is This is Me by Keala Settle. It was released in 2017. I got to hear this song from The Greatest Showman movie and it happens to be my favorite song amongst every song that was sung in the movie. The song reflects self-love and confidence and that is what I always want to possess. I feel like this song gives most people the confidence to be whatever they want to be no matter what. No matter the situation everyone is meant to be whatever they want to be. If only they work towards it and believe.
