This week’s SSM Music Snack was chosen by our Dating Gal from yesterday, Katie. I love her selection and the reasoning behind it and the song instantly made me smile. Sit back and enjoy..
I’m Alive by Kenny Chesney and Dave Matthews
A message from Katie:
Why this song? Well, since mid-September I’ve been going to see a counselor every two weeks. Why? Well, because I want to. I firmly believe that mental health is an essential ingredient to a happy, healthy and full life. Nothing is going seriously wrong in my life, but I wanted to sit down with a professional and see if there is/was anything that I could do to improve my mental game before I embark upon my first career in a new city in January.
Well, Dan the Counselor Man and I have been talking about positivity. Wow, I’ve never realized until now what an energy drain even one negative thought can be! So, I’m making a concerted effort to be more positive and thankful. Come on now, we all have problems/tiffs/bumps in the road, but talk about it with a rationale friend and get that negative thought out of your head! Dan told me for every negative thought that comes across your mind, you should think of at LEAST three positive ones–even if they are as trivial as saying- I’m thankful to be alive!
So SSM readers- Make a concerted effort to be happy- it’s so much better than being a negative Nancy! After all, we’re alive and well.
Ciao for now,
Katie
