This past week was a test of my fortitude. I’ll spare you the details, but I spent much of my weekend rebuilding. Here are 3 songs that helped me rebuild, I hope they help you when you need to rebuild.

F**king’ Perfect by P!nk

You’re so mean, when you talk, about yourself you were wrong
Change the voices in your head, make them like you instead

I didn’t struggle with my confidence this week, but someone else tried to shake it, they tried to get in my head. When P!nk sang to me, I was never so thankful for her words and her confidence in me. Somewhere in the thousands of times, I heard this song, I learned to be good to myself.

The Climb by Mylie Cyrus

The struggles I’m facing
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes might knock me down but
No I’m not breaking

The struggles will be the things that define me and make me appreciate when I get to the top of the mountain.

Keep Holding On by Avril Lavigne 

You’re not alone
Together we stand
I’ll be by your side
You know I’ll take your hand

Beautiful words about standing together, although we sometimes feel alone, we are not and it’s the hard times when we find out who is with us.
