I have two musical playlists which I am going to listening to a fair amount over the next few days as I am going to be mulling what I need to change in my life, and I am soliciting suggestions for music I can buy to supplement.

One playlist is called
'A Well-Lived Life'
and includes things like:

How You Live (Turn Up the Music)
Point of Grace

Waiting Outside the Lines
Greyson Chance

Brave
Sara Bareilles

Lovely Agnes
Sally Rogers

Myrta and Emory
Debi Smith

Hold On
Wilson Philips

Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride
Lilo and Stitch

Elegy (Crystal Glass)
Zoe Mulford

Unwritten
Natasha Bedingfield

Affirmation
Savage Garden

John's Garden
Peter Mayer

Anyway
The Roches

The Secret of Happiness
Daddy Long Legs

Forgiveness
Jane Eyre

This is the New Year
Ian Axel

[and more] This is something we talk about it DBT Therapy: living life to the full, authetically, doing work that is meaningful, that you enjoy, spending time with people who love. Anyone have any songs to add?

The other playlist is Hope:

Some songs include:

Deliver Us
Prince of Egypt soundtrack

Born at the Right Time
Paul Simon

Ready for the Storm
Dougie McClain

The Mary Ellen Carter
Stan Rogers

The Longest Night
Peter Meyer

Carolyn's Party

Old Devil Time
Claudia Schmit

Superhero
Luke Conard and Lance Austin

Don't Give Up
Peter Gabriel

Hold
Sora

Keep Holding On

Breathe
Ryan Star

and many more. These songs are, of course, about finding hope and support in times of distress, sorrow or trouble. Any more to add?

I would be grateful for any suggestions you could leave me in comments. Thank you.

For the Well-Lived Life playlist:

"Swimming to the Other Side" by Emma's Revolution (lyrics here)
"All That We Let In" by the Indigo Girls
"Why Walk When You Can Fly" by Mary Chapin Carpenter
"Art of Virtue" by Adrienne Young

For the Hope playlist:

Bobby McFerrin's setting of the 23rd psalm
"Here Comes the Sun" (The Beatles or any of a number of covers)
"The Mercy of the Fallen" by Dar Williams
"Stray Italian Greyhound" by Vienna Teng
"Redwing" by Hem

I hope at least some of these work the same way for you that they do for me - all have been inspiration or comfort at various times.
