LIFE

Have you been feeling a little extra down on yourself recently? Try jamming out to these 10 tunes to snap out of that funk!

1. "Freckles" by Natasha Bedingfield 
We’ve all been there. You go over to the mirror, zoom in on your face and start picking out every little detail you can’t stand about yourself. It can be tough to embrace your imperfections, but remember those little things are what make you special.

2. "Who Says" by Selena Gomez and the Scene
Everyone is perfect in their own unique way. Don’t let society’s definition of beauty bring you down! 

3. "Try" by Colbie Caillat 
You’ve spent enough time starting at that tiny pimple on your forehead that you’re probably the only one noticing anyway. Put down the concealer, pick up your phone and start jamming to this song with a beautiful message.

4. "All About That Bass" by Meghan Trainor
Do yourself a favor and don’t let worrying about your weight hinder you from living your life. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, so go out with your friends and enjoy yourself!

5. "Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera 
 If Damien from Mean Girls can belt this out in front of his entire high school, you can sing along to these meaning lyrics alone in your room with no shame.

6. "Firework" by Katy Perry
Whether you’ve been bullied or are stuck in a rut of being a bit harsh on yourself, take some advice from Katy and “show ‘em what you’re worth!” 

7. "Born This Way" by Lady Gaga
You are important no matter who you love, the color of your skin, the number on the scale or the price tag on your clothes. 

8. "La La Land" by Demi Lovato 
Even Hollywood stars can get caught up in trying to be “pretty” or having the  “perfect bod.” Through songs, interviews, and insta posts, Demi Lovato has proved the power in using fame to spread positivity and promote healthy body image. 

9. "Who You Are" by Jessie J
Believe in the lyrics “the more I try the less it's working.” Trying to fit a certain mold is tough, but being yourself will never go out of style.

10. "Brave" by Sara Bareilles 
Always remember: As long as you have the courage to stand up for yourself, no one will be able to stop you from shining!
