Inspirational Songs
|
|
I really love inspirational songs. They inspire and motivate you. Also, inspirational songs can bring a new meaning into your life. From my experience I found that singing these inspirational songs can double the enjoyment and increase the health benefits you get from the song.
A study from the University of London showed that singing reduces stress by producing endorphins and offers physical benefits by exercising the heart, lungs, abdominal, and back muscles. It is what we women need!!!
Of course, to sing the song you need to know the words. I have collected many videos of songs with lyrics on them, so you can listen to the songs and read the words at the same time. It is like an inspirational karaoke!
These motivational songs are in alphabetical order. Enjoy them, get healthy and become a more powerful woman!

Becoming strong
“Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.”
