Happiness Is a Choice
Happiness is a personal choice, made repeatedly in moments throughout the day.
Years ago, I'd get bummed out watching the local news because it was so negative: crime, bad weather, conflict on city council and in neighborhoods. Then I stopped watching. I don't regret it.
I now short-circuit the habitual complainers in my life by asking, "What are you going to do about it?" I smile more than normal because mood is contagious. And I use both music and inspirational quotes when I need a pick-me-up.
If you're looking to accentuate the positive in your life, try creating a Positive Vibe Playlist. We've got a long list of uplifting and positive pop, rock, and country songs to put you in a good mood. Now go pay it forward.

12 Things You Can Do to Be Happier and More Optimistic
Be present in the moment rather than focusing so much on the past or future. | Surround yourself with positive people. Mood is contagious. | Look for sources of humor in everyday life. |
When you're in a negative situation, challenge yourself to identify the silver lining. | Let go of things that sap your time and energy. | Remind yourself that you always have choices. |
Go after that big dream. Now is the time to start. | Look for positive messages in media, entertainment and discussion. | Keep a gratitude journal. Include three good things that happened to you each day, along with an explanation for why each occurred. |
Engage with pets or smiling babies. | Enjoy positive, upbeat music and inspirational quotes. | Look for solutions rather than problems. |

Cynthia - I'm glad you found this on Google! I hope your whiny Facebook friend makes a playlist of these tunes and puts it on autorepeat. Have a fantastic weekend!
Cynthia Zirkwitz from Vancouver Island, Canada on July 17, 2018:
I ran across this on Google when I was looking for something pithy to say about a whiny person on Facebook that blames everyone for not seeing the sort of wonderful, loving person they really are. This compendium of uplifting tunes is exactly what I need right now! Thank you!

Chrissy - I added this song and will also do a playlist in the future about being young. Wish I were 22 again. It was a great time, although my current age is really good too! It's all good! Thanks for the suggestion. Wishing you all the best. Flourish
Chrissy on May 20, 2018:
22 by Taylor Swift always pumps me up, and I think it would be a great addition.
Elaina Baker (author) from USA on May 04, 2018:
Paula, What a positive and uplifting comment! Thank you! More power to you! Have a fan-freaking-tastic weekend, my friend! Thinking of you!

Fantastic list with so many variations and genres that I'll have to save it for the next time I'm feeling down.

Rackleflackl - Thanks for all these suggestions. You really know your Dennis DeYoung songs! I appreciate your kind words and leaving a comment. Have a great week!
Rackleflackl on April 30, 2017:
Wow- I love what you have going on here. I was compiling a list of "PMA" songs for a friend, which I was going to make a Facebook page out of, but I might just refer my friend here instead. I have a rather large list, many of which are on your list, and many that are not. Here's some suggestions: "Don't Wait For Heroes", "Ready Or Not", "Warning Shot", and "This Is The Time", all by Dennis DeYoung, and "I'm OK", "Angry Young Man (Fooling Yourself", and "Best Of Times" by his former band Styx are all very positive songs! More to come...

Anonymous - Although I didn't find a song named "Good Time" I did add "Tonight We Own the Night" by them. It's chipper and a good song, too. If you want to give me more information about the song you suggested, perhaps that will trigger something? Thank you for reading and for leaving a song suggestion.

"Good Time" by Wanted is one of the most upbeat and uplifting songs I have ever heard of.
Elaina Baker (author) from USA on March 16, 2017:
Christyann76 - Although it's not a traditional uplifting or happy song if you look at the lyrics, the gist of the message is in the refrain,, and I can see how you feel that way. Thanks for your comment. We'll all get by.
Christyann76 on March 16, 2017:
I think Touch of Grey by Grateful Dead is strangely yet incredibly uplifting
