MidZen Guide to the Perfect Playlist: Tunes to Boost Your Mood
Because Sometimes the Only Self-Care You Need Is Screaming Beyoncé in the Shower
Let’s Be Real: You Don’t Always Need a Bubble Bath to Feel Better
Okay, look - we love a good face mask moment. But sometimes, self-care is blasting Lizzo while you clean out your junk drawer or scream-singing Taylor Swift on the freeway like your life depends on it. That’s why we’ve provided these mood-boosting recommendations to add to your playlists. No fluff, no filler, just straight-up bangers to lift your spirits when life’s doing the most.
Whether you're powering through a Monday, surviving your latest existential spiral, or celebrating making it to 5 p.m. without crying (honestly, a win), we’ve got your back - and your ears.
The Playlist Vibe: Confidence, Chaos & Controlled Screaming
What should your playlist have? A chef’s kiss blend of empowering anthems, nostalgic throwbacks, and those “Yes, I am a badass, thanks for noticing” kind of tracks. This isn’t your yoga teacher’s mindfulness mix. This is a full-body vibe shift.
Some of our fave tracks include:
“Good as Hell” - Lizzo
“Dog Days Are Over” - Florence + The Machine
“Confident” - Demi Lovato
“Flowers” - Miley Cyrus
“Survivor” - Destiny’s Child
“Don’t Start Now” - Dua Lipa
“Edge of Seventeen” - Stevie Nicks
“Unwritten” - Natasha Bedingfield (don’t fight it, just feel it)
“I’m Every Woman” - Chaka Khan
“Shake It Off” - Taylor Swift
“Rain on Me” - Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande
“So What” - P!nk
“Boss B*tch” - Doja Cat
“No Scrubs” - TLC
“Run the World (Girls)” - Beyoncé (Obligatory. Required. Non-negotiable.)
You know the ones - songs that slap hard enough to get you out of your funk without you having to actually get your life together.
Real Talk: Music Is Mental Health Care (Yes, Really)
We’re not gonna hit you with studies and stats (but they do exist). Just know this: music taps into your nervous system and yanks you out of your stress spiral like a bestie showing up with wine and takeout. Whether you’re in a “don’t talk to me” mood or a “let’s dance in the kitchen” moment, the right playlist changes things.
This one? It’s for the girlies doing their best, holding it together with dry shampoo and good intentions.
Press Play, Then Own Your Chaos
So here’s your challenge: cultivate the perfect playlist for you, hit shuffle, dance it out, and take one damn minute to not worry about everything. Let this playlist be your permission slip to be messy, magical, and completely you. Self-care doesn’t have to be deep. Sometimes it’s just loud.
