Oh wow @52andblue Perfect Day has the absolute opposite effect on me. I have sobbed my heart out to that song!

Lots of great suggestions here though. I like Feeling Good (as a family we usually listen to the Muse version but I do love Nina Simone singing it.

My DC's favourite motivating tunes are This Girl is on Fire by Alicia Keys, Whatever It Takes by Imagine Dragons and Don't Stop Me Now by Queen.

Fennellathewitch · 04/11/2020 18:34

Bellamy Brothers - Let your love flow, getting in the car on some really bad days at work it just happened to be on. Really cheered me up ! Used to take it as sign it might not be such a shitty day, it was, but ever the optimist Smile
