Healing Playlist: Songs to Heal Your Heart

With Valentine’s Day on its way and getting closer and closer, I was really feeling for those out there who just aren’t feeling the love this month. I decided to share my writings from when I was going through my own break up and dealing with my own heart break, as a way to, hopefully, spread some sunshine for those who are hurting. You are not alone. You will get through this.

This is the third installment of A Glimpse into my Heart Break.

I think music speaks straight to our hearts a lot of the time. So when your heart needs healing or uplifting or maybe it needs the freedom to grieve, to finally let it out — listen to this playlist. It has songs that make me cry and help me release what I’ve held in all day. It has songs for those days when I am so tired of the tears, and I just want to feel strong for three minutes. It has songs that set aside the sorrow and let me tap my feet to the rhythm.

I suggest listening to the playlist in the order I listed. I started with the songs that will help you grieve and release your emotions; then I moved to the songs that would help calm you down. Next are encouraging songs that will uplift you and finally a couple songs that should bring you a little joy.

No matter where you are at in the healing process — from the most painful part to the acceptance to the finding joy again — I hope this playlist helps you move forward in whatever way you need to.
