When you have come through adverse childhood experiences such as abuse, neglect, death of a parent or someone you love, it changes you because it literally changes the way your brain works.
One way to gently change your Mind, is to lovingly look at the Music you listen to. Look at the lyrics.
I had to do this about 10 years ago when I realized that so much of what I was listening to, even if it was popular or had a great beat, was really negative.
Start looking at the lyrics of the songs you listen to. Every time you sing along, you’re repeating negative affirmations directly to your subconscious.
Look at Music that’s happy. Look at lyrics that are positive.
Here’s a popular song called “The Middle”
This, to me is a GREAT SONG!! The subject of the song is relatable and difficult, but it isn’t a “victim” song.
Look at your music choices and see what changes you can make to lighten up and give yourself something hopeful to put in your Mind.
Take a seat
Right over there, sat on the stairs
Stay or leave
The cabinets are bare and I’m unaware
Of just how we got into this mess
Got so aggressive
I know we meant all good intentions
So pull me closer
Why don’t you pull me close
Why don’t you come on over
I can’t just let you go
Oh baby
Why don’t you just meet me in the middle
I’m losing my mind just a little
So why don’t you just meet me in the middle
In the middle
Baby
Why don’t you just meet me in the middle
I’m losing my mind just a little
So why don’t you just meet me in the middle
In the middle
Take a step
Back for a minute, into the kitchen
Floors are wet
And taps are still running, dishes are broken
How did we get into this mess
Got so aggressive
I know we meant all good intentions
So pull me closer
Why don’t you pull me close
Why don’t you come on over
I can’t just let you go
Oh baby
Why don’t you just meet me in the middle
I’m losing my mind just a little
So why don’t you just meet me in the middle
In the middle
Looking at you I can’t lie
Just pouring out admission
Regardless my objection
And it’s not about my pride
I need you on my skin just
Come over, pull me in just
Oh baby
Why don’t you just meet me in the middle
I’m losing my mind just a little
So why don’t you just meet me in the middle
In the middle, no no
Baby
Why don’t you just meet me in the middle, oh yeah
I’m losing my mind just a little
So why don’t you just meet me in the middle, oh
In the middle
Baby
Why don’t you just meet me in the middle, baby
I’m losing my mind just a little
So why don’t you just meet me in the middle, middle
In the middle, middle
