AOK Today #2 Pumping playlist

AOK Today: Make a pumping playlist (this AOK is for you)

"Where words fail, music speaks" - Hans Christian Anderson

How It Works: Put together a playlist of all your favourite upbeat songs - Simple! Listen to it today and use it when you need a little boost. We can intentionally boost our moods by listening to positive music! If you can sing along, or dance to it - even better for that extra endorphin hit. You might like to choose songs connected to positive memories (a vacation-related song, a gym success, your first motivational song etc) for a deeper boost. Alternatively try an existing party playlist on your music streaming service. It might remind you of some bangers of seasons past or introduce you to ones.

Cost: Free! Either use a streaming service you already have or if you're not subscribed to one, use Youtube.

Why I love it: It actually works! I woke up feeling a bit blah yesterday, so I put on an existing party playlist, got out of my bed, went out, had a coffee (all of which probably helped). After about 15mins the songs started affecting me - one of them was a song that I used to dance to as a kid at Club Med, others I sung along too, and I discovered a few new ones.
