Please the world of mumsnet help me put a happy motivational playlist together to distract me from a horrible period of anxiety I am going through!

I will be adding songs to a spotify playlist and playing them in my room, in my car and also at the gym!

Old and new songs welcome!!

I have zero songs so far! My first song will be

'Come on Eileen' a song myself and dp love dancing and singing to in the car =)

Happy to share the playlist on spotify for those who would like to listen once I have put it together...!

Thank you

Lizzo - Juice. Just instantly makes me smile and I sing along and feel a bit like a kick ass empowered woman!!

Also, Jimmyeatworld, especially The Middle.

I had an issue recently when I sat and sobbed along to a few Frightened Rabbit songs, realised that wasn't a very productive way to spend the day but then couldn't think of any songs I liked that wouldn't make me cry until I remembered Jimmyeatworld.

Echo pp with the beautiful south but wouldn’t just limit it to don’t marry her - all their songs cheer me up!

May be personal to me but I’ve got a playlist of some of the songs my mum used to play when I was little:

Break my stride - Matthew wilder
Solid as a rock - ashford and Simpson
Respectable - Mel and Kim
Sign your name - Terence Trent d’arby
Girl you know it’s tru - milli vanilli

Always make me smile.

Ok it’s from Trolls but this song always cheers me up

In case the link doesn’t work, it’s ‘I will get back up again’ by Anna Kendrick

I also love ‘Can’t stop the feeling’ by Justin Timberlake
