Music is powerful. It can uplift us when we\u2019re sad, motivate us during our workout and simply make us feel good. People have playlists for just about every occasion: road trip, gym, homework and, of course, the weekend. But have you ever thought about what your work<\/em> playlist would consist of? Well, I sure have! Here are 10 songs that I feel every public relations professional should add to their work week playlist.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/a>Breathe<\/em><\/a>\u201d by Jonny Diaz<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cAlarm clock screaming bare feet hit the floor, yeah, it\u2019s off to the races everybody out the door. I\u2019m feeling like I\u2019m falling behind, it\u2019s a crazy life. Ninety miles an hour going fast as I can, trying to push a little harder trying to get the upper hand. So much to do in so little time, it\u2019s a crazy life. It\u2019s ready, set, go, it\u2019s another wild day. When the stress is on the rise in my heart I feel you say, \u201cjust breathe.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

As PR professionals our days are go, go, go. You may feel as if you\u2019re falling behind \u2014 that there simply isn\u2019t enough time in the day and you\u2019re overwhelmed to the point of a breakdown. When your stress meter is rising, just breathe.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/a>In too Deep<\/em><\/a>\u201d by Sum 41<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cCause I\u2019m in too deep, and I\u2019m trying to keep up above in my head, instead of going under cause I\u2019m in too deep. \u201c<\/em><\/p>\n

You stare at your desk while the phone rings off the hook and you can see that your boss is heading your way. He gives you another assignment as you think about the three other things you have yet to complete and you begin to think you\u2019re in way too deep. Don\u2019t fret, you can handle more than you think you can. Take it one thing at a time!<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/a>Lazy Song<\/em><\/a>\u201d by Bruno Mars<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cToday I don\u2019t feel like doing anything. I just want to lay in my bed. Don\u2019t feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone, cause today I swear I\u2019m not doing anything.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

Ok, this one can\u2019t just be me. We all have those days where we don\u2019t feel like doing anything.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/a>My Time<\/em><\/a>\u201d by Fabolous<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cGo hard, today. Can\u2019t worry about the past cause that was yesterday. I\u2019m gonna put it on the line cause it\u2019s my time.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

This is for the young PR pros. You walked across the stage and you got that degree, now it\u2019s time for the real world. Going into that first interview, put it all on the line, it\u2019s your time.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/a>I made It<\/em><\/a>\u201d by Kevin Rudolf<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI used to dream about the life I\u2019m living now, I know that there\u2019s no doubt, I made it.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

You went through many years of school and countless sleepless nights to get where you are now. After you crushed your interview and played the waiting game, you receive the call from your dream job. You made it!<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/a>Humble and Kind<\/em><\/a>\u201d by Tim McGraw<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you get where you\u2019re going don\u2019t forget turn back around, and help the next one in line. Always stay humble and kind.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

This one applies to everyone, not just PR pros. Always stay humble and kind and when somebody reaches out to you for something, don\u2019t forget that you were in their shoes once.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/a>It\u2019s 5 o\u2019clock Somewhere<\/em><\/a>\u201d by Alan Jackson<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cMy boss just pushed me over the limit. I\u2019d like to call him something. I think I\u2019ll just call it a day. Pour me something tall and strong, make it a hurricane before I go insane. It\u2019s only half-past twelve, but I don\u2019t care. It\u2019s five o\u2019clock somewhere.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

We\u2019re all just watching the clock tick slow waiting on five o\u2019clock.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/a>The Climb<\/em><\/a>\u201d by Miley Cyrus<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s always going to be another mountain. I\u2019m always going to want to make it move. Always going to be an uphill battle, sometimes I\u2019m going to have to lose. It ain\u2019t about how fast I get there, ain\u2019t about what\u2019s waiting on the other side. It\u2019s the climb.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

There\u2019s always going to be mountains in our life, especially in the workplace. Like I said earlier, take one thing at a time. It\u2019s not about how fast you get there. Just enjoy the ride and conquer mountains!<\/p>\n

\u201cBad Day\u201d<\/em><\/a> by Daniel Powter<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cBecause you had a bad day, you\u2019re takin\u2019 one down. You sing a sad song just to turn it around.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not all rainbows and gold once you get that dream job. You\u2019re going to have bad days. Crank this one up and turn it around!<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/a>Cheers<\/em><\/a>\u201d by Rihanna<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cCheers to the freakin\u2019 weekend.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s Friday, you made it through that endless work week. Crank this one up on your drive home and get ready for a fun weekend!<\/p>\n
