I've added it to both this playlist and the playlist on heartbreak, breakups, and divorce. Let's try "Never Give Up" by Yolanda Adams (2001). Second, I love that you keep coming back to offer additional ideas. I've also added it to the following playlist about Survival and Perseverance in the Face of Challenge.

"Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera (2002)īeautiful no matter water they say. Why are you doing this to yourself? Remember the affirmations? Repeat enough times until you believe them!Įven if you don't feel confident and powerful, practice behaving that way. Reduce the impact of the Negative Nellies in your life.

Realize when "good enough" really IS good enough.īe able to name what you're good at. Strive for personal excellence, not perfection. Miranda Lambert, "Mama's Broken Heart" "Leave it to me to be holdin' the matches, when the fire trucks show up and there's nobody else to blame." Trick Pony, "Pour Me" "Poor me, poor me, poor me, pour me.another shot of whiskey, bartender hit me one more time."I know what I'm doing " "I can achieve anything I set my mind to." That epic jam and 19 more to get you amped up and over any broken heart in no time at all, below. Miranda herself sings one of the very best of them ("Mama's Broken Heart," written by Kacey Musgraves). (I play bass in an all-girl honky-tonk cover band, called Your Ex-Girlfriends, and we specialize in that very kind of song.) And while I might be biased, I will venture to say that generally, women do these kinds of songs the very best, though there are some gents in the mix too. The other is whiskey-shooting, boot-stomping, car-wrecking, line-em-up-and-toss-em-back rockin' revenge anthems. There are two things that country music does better than just about any other genre-one of them is tear-jerker breakup ballads, 21 of which Lynsey gave you yesterday, excellent for sobbing in sympathy for Miranda and Blake's divorce or for your own breakup.
