With the Fourth of July coming up, I wanted to share a fun Fourth of July music playlist. Our environment can also really have an influence on how we feel, and the music we hear is definitely a factor. Nothing makes me want to move like some fun music!
Movement is also something that can really uplift our spirits and create joy. In this sedentary and often stressful modern world, it is important to be mindful of opportunities to move and be joyful. Whenever I have a chance, I seize that opportunity and a holiday is a perfect one!
As a movement instructor, it is so much fun to listen to a music playlist with my classes as we exercise. However, it is equally enjoyable to have a dance party with my kids, listen to fun music with friends, or play it in my earphones while walking. Movement and music are definitely two of my favorite things!
How to Choose Music
Regarding the type of music, I obviously went with a Fourth of July theme for this playlist. In this type of playlist, I prefer to include different music genres for a fun variety. If you are creating a playlist for a group, it is also more likely that there will be a song that appeals to everyone. (Another tip – it also makes it easier to find music that goes with your theme!)
When you are choosing music, anything that you enjoy will work to create joyful movement. Personally, I enjoy a wide variety of genres and artists. It is also fun to find songs that are new to you and maybe create some new favorites. While listening to fun music, I cannot help but feel uplifted.
Have a wonderful Fourth of July – I hope you enjoy this fun Fourth of July music playlist. I wish you lots and lots of fun music and movement this summer!
