High 5 Habit: amzn.to/3fMvfPQ
The 5 Second Rule: amzn.to/3372Rl9
Thank you. Jesus give me strength. I’m trying to balance everything on my own, but Lord I feel like I’m failing miserably as a single mother. Both sons are special needs I’m so overwhelmed trying to support them on my own. I’m struggling to make ends meet, to pay bills, and to put food on the table for my children. Jesus guide me and give me strength. I have faith you will carry me through this difficult time.
You sound like a great mom, struggling for your boys. Lord knows it’s hard right now, and I hear you say you’re struggling to make ends meet, to pay bills, to feed them- but you’re doing it. And I bet you’re doing it and barely pulling yourself through everyday, and your babies have no idea that life is hard for them right now. They’re probably just happy to have you, and happy to have the love of a mother who will do whatever it takes to take care of them.
Trust me, I have been there. I got pregnant with my bf of only about a year, while going through a divorce from my first husband (and we were getting a divorce bc of our trouble having our own children btw 💁🏻♀️). When my son was born, I was NOT prepared! I had so much debt, severe PPD, immediately after birth he needed corrective surgeries, and his father and I fought horribly and constantly. I almost committed suicide to stop the fighting for my son, bc it felt like the only way out. But, I hung on- his father and I got into couples counseling, I applied for EBT, I pulled myself to work everyday to pay off my debt while my niece watched my baby. My son’s surgeries all went well and he had recovered completely. Eventually things got better and better. I wasn’t a single mother like you, but with the divide between his father and I, the first few month felt like I might as well have been.
The thing is- DONT EVER GIVE UP!! I know it’s harder than hell now, but this too shall pass. And you’ll be stronger for it. I believe the love for your children can get you through ANYTHING. Ask for help, keep going, cry your heart out in the shower after they’re asleep. But always know that you can do this!! Mothers are the strongest force on this Earth, maybe in the universe. You will succeed for your boys, and this will get better. I’m so sorry that you’re having to go through this now 😢 I feel your pain so much. But I believe you will make it through this, and you will be stronger and more resilient for it, and your sons will have the ultimate respect for women watching you along the way. Keep it up momma 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
@@lionandtheprideband3958 Dear mother of 2 lovely boys, I wish you all the strength you need for yourself, to stay strong and healthy and your boys, that you can feed them properly what they need. I will add you to my prayers!!!🙏💝💝💝💝💝💝💝🙏
Have you looked in to social security, IHSS so you can be compensated to take care of your kiddos?
What about Healthcare, or Calfresh/ food assistance through social services? 🙏🏼💙

The Breakdown:
1. Leverage Music for Mood and Memory
Your favorite music from the past can help you hit the reset button on your mood right now. Remember those songs from high school, the ones that played at your graduation, or your dad’s favorite tune? According to research, these songs can lift your mood and bring back positive memories because they are deeply embedded in your brain’s emotional circuits.
Action Step: Make a playlist of your favorite old songs. Whenever you feel stressed or down, hit play and let the music work its magic. It's like a time machine that transports you back to those happy moments.
2. Use Energetic Music to Prime Your Brain
Energetic, familiar music can put you in a state of peak performance. It activates the beta band in your brain, which is associated with heightened focus and cognitive function.
Action Step: Create a "hype" playlist with your favorite energetic songs. Play it before important tasks, like studying, working on a project, or even going to the gym. This will boost your energy and focus, helping you perform at your best.
3. Engage with Binaural Beats for Concentration
Binaural beats are an auditory illusion created when two slightly different frequencies are played in each ear. This type of sound can help you focus, relax, and even sleep better by synchronizing your brainwaves to specific frequencies.
Action Step: Search for binaural beats playlists on your favorite music platform. Use headphones and listen for at least 15-30 minutes while working, studying, or relaxing. Experiment with different types to see which ones help you the most.
4. Tap into Solfeggio Frequencies for Calm and Healing
Solfeggio frequencies, often referred to as "angel music," are specific tones that can create a sense of calm and peace. These frequencies are believed to promote healing and balance within the body.
Action Step: Find solfeggio frequency playlists or tracks online. Listen to them in the background while you work, meditate, or unwind. Notice how they help you feel more centered and relaxed.
Led Zepplin Stairway to Heaven😂 I always got stuck with someone I didn’t want to dance with. Longest song of my life. Hahahahha
That's why every1 wanted it as the last song cuz they didn't want the dance to be over they wanted to prolong it as long as possible...lol
It’s probably Stairway to Heaven for the last middle school dance 😊
This would work if radio stations had not already figured this out. I've heard my once favorite songs played so often, 10 or 20 years later, that I'm sick of them, and I turn the dial, looking for something I haven't heard one million times.
I LOVE music for this reason! I love 80’s soft rock it always brings me back to my childhood driving to do errands with my mom on the weekends. I can hear the car, smell the air and feel the sun on my face. My dad used to sing R-E-S-P-E-C-T incorrectly so I would spell it right! Lol! Always think of him when I hear any Aretha songs. I have songs that remind me of people I have lost. I associate so much to music in my life. It’s such a special experience. When I feel bad music is my go to for a mood lift for sure.
My dad would listen to 'There goes my baby' by Usher, 'Pretty wings' by Maxwell, and 'Lost without you' by Robin Thicke. I specifically play those songs and just feel smooth, glowy & magical. Thanks Mel for helping me have positive thoughts while I'm doing some work on my laptop
Purple Rain!!!
Oh yeah!! So many memories to that song ☺️💕
Walking on sunshine is a great one to get you up and moving!!!! I will turn it on if Im struggling to get out of bed into the shower.
Love that song
Brandy Gilmore talks about changing her brain and pain level and using songs healing her and mentioned that was one of her songs. Fascinating stuff. Not done listening to this yet but she may be a great follow up to look into.
This is it…right here…how important music is in our lives!!!
I have noticed that my favourite music from the past cheer me up and it works every time. And now, when I have a scientific validation of it, I am going to resort to the method more often 😊
Kidd Rock Care, Born free, All Summer long, Nickleback This is how you remind me, If everyone cared, Savin me, and anything by Def Leppard. Always resets my vibe. 😊
For sure
@@kristalhumphreys4621 I think they are like a Gospel Rock lol
I love the song "this girl is on fire"
I loved and still do, "Oh what a beautiful morning" for my Dad who sang this nearly every day
Thanks for the video, Mel. I’ve been using music my entire life to alter my states. I created playlists for music from my childhood, teen years, twenties, thirties; playlists for Christmas, Working Out, Dancing, Chilling, etc. Please consider changing the title of this video to: The Power Of Music: Press Play And Change Your Life! The information is so valuable and you need a catchier title to engage more viewers.
This is amazing :) It makes so much sense that why I was addicted to the music during the most difficult time of my life… and recently I attended the concert of the same( my fav )artist and I was in tears and felt like something just got fixed in my heart. ❤
I will Never forget- visiting a friend in NYC - I took a Tap dance class @ “Steps on Broadway” & we shuffled away to “September” by Earth Wind & Fire!! 🔥 💃 ❤😂
Hello It’s Me by Todd Runyan Sarah smile by Hall & Oates
Impatiently waiting on the episode all about Taylor Swift. Mel and Taylor are two of my favorite humans on earth!
I absolutely love how our senses take us back. All of my memories are based on senses or feelings I was having. It imprints on you and takes you back. ❤😊
Last dance by Donna Summers
Or bad girls.
Over the Years music has always been in the background. I had so many ❤songs on my Spotify I decided to sort them by different stages of my life. The titles of each list are the names of the bars where we hung out at the time! One Playlist is called CAR TUNES! LOL! Once I became a mom, and no longer hanging in bars, the Playlist names became more geared towards the stages of life my children were at, because calling the Playlist of the past 25 years "Mom Tunes" I'd run into the same problem of too many ❤ songs! One song that takes me way back, and always has, I can remember being around 4 years old, and sound asleep in my parents bed nestled between the 2 of them. In my brain, it's the middle of the night, because it's still dark. The clock radio alarm goes off, to get my dad up to go to work. I stayed in bed, half asleep, but was aware of mom and dad quietly, moving about the room as dad got ready for work. The song playing at the time from the clock radio...🎵🎶 "I'm walking through the Rain and the Snow, and There's No Where to Go, and I'm Feeling Like a Part of Me is Dying...🎵🎶 That is the last memory I have of me being "comfortable", at peace, no worries in the world. The last memory of my mom and dad together. They divorced soon after, but whenever I hear that song, which is not often anymore, I think of that time, and place, 4 years old! I'm now 52, and that was the last time I felt, "comfortable"!
0:45 😊
😢🎉
Crystal Blue Persuasion is an amazing song to get you going with good feelings and energy.
Disco Dishes! A neurological tool whose time has come!!❤❤❤
Both my kids were born to Neil Diamond. I love hearing music from The Jazz Singer
This podcast was amazing, Mel. I’m going to make my playlist right away. Also binaural beets especially for sleep! Love ya’ ❤️❤️❤️
Life is a Highway by rascal flats is my favorite song for riding an exercise bike!
“Double record players” 😂 aka -BOOMBOX!!!
Mel, it is “Free Bird” by Lynyrd Skynrd 9 minutes long.
Listening to my fave songs only make me more melancholy - it only reminds me that those were the best years of my life and they've passed me by. My life since then has only been grief, strife, and struggle.
Anything Fleetwood Mac, Doobie Brothers, Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, Little Feat, "House of the Rising Sun", "Alice's Restaurant" - all reminds me of my dad.
Anything George Michael reminds me of my high school boyfriend.
I went through the most depressed phase when I constantly listened to Nine Inch Nails ("Every Day is Exactly the Same") and Marilyn Manson ("Coma White"), and things like Staind ("It's been Awhile"). I tend to lean into my feelings and listen to music that makes me feel worse instead of better.
You do not have a bad voice it’s beautiful
I'm thinking the song is Nights in White Satin. The first song I slow danced to.
For sure Nights in White Satin, that was a very popular song to slow dance on! Here in Europe as well. First song I slow danced on.
Color My World by Chicago is what came to mind for the slow dance song.
I’m gonna toss my hat in the ring for the 8 mins slow dance… “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” by Meatloaf?
I am an audiophile, have an extensive collection of music I like and I also play guitar and bass. I ❤ music and it has definitely saved my life more than once. I studied classical guitar in college but put my playing on the back burner for several years until I began playing guitar in a cover band in my late 30s then learned how to play bass in a band with only a drummer and a guitarist. Harry Nilsson’s “Coconut” was a 45 played a lot during my formative years (around ages 4 and up). It always sends me back to 1975/1976-ish and I usually burst into dance as a goofy 4-year old in a 54 year-old’s body 🤪 I usually have my “Epic Tunes” playlist (ever-growing) playing in the background most days which houses every Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Jimi Hendrix, Zeppelin, Jeff Beck, Richie Kotzen, Black Label Society (❤ Zakk!), Public Enemy, Beastie Boys,Fugazi, NIN, Chris Cornell, Jeff Buckley, Prince, Chris Whitley, Corrosion of Conformity, Dag, - too many and not enough - it’s a lot. I miss making mix tapes. Yes, I hand edited most tapes - mine were fave guitar solos blending into each other (all hail the double cassette decker!). In fact, my phone case looks like a mix tape of Alice In Chains. ❤🤘🎸 Ty, Mel!!
I have this memory..she’s in love with you ..Suzi Quatro…me and my friends going to a disco ..those days..
We drove in my car without a passenger window..so we sang this the whole road till we arrived..never get tired of this song ..always a smile on my face …
Stairway to Heaven by Led Zepplin, always the last slow song played at my middle school dances - that one song could make your evening or feel like a punch in the gut
Thanks for suggesting we make a Playlist
En México recordamos cuando de niños nos dormíamos sobre dos sillas mientras el sonidero seguía tocando y nuestros papás tomando o bailando
I have 26 different playlists and they all do different things😍
Stairway to Heaven!
Long train by the Doobie Brothets, our high school band played it every pep and Friday mornings during football season. Takes me backbrverytime.
Id love to see the binaural beats used in dementia research. Im definitely going to have my 80-yr old mom give it a try to improve her cognitive issues.
Our kitchen clean up was my mom, aunt, cousins, and sisters. No music, just all of us singing songs from the jive era, the 4Seasons, Paul Anka, Neil Sedaka, Barry Manalo... Diana, Last Kiss..
Is the song you are looking for "Open Arms" by Journey? You and I are the same age, and that was the song that would be played at the end of nearly every dance.
I scan my parents remotely daily and I scan my dogs to balance their wellness also. They love the music and hz sounds.
Thank you Mel ❤ for this amazing podcast
You are fabulous
I love you too ❤
Middle school Dance in the late 80's - Hotel California!
Joseph and amazing technicolour Dreamcoat CD sang by Donny Osmond that was playing in my van with me and my three sons were driving through town. We had it up full blast. My oldest is the biggest fan of it too, and we were headbanging to it just to be silly. And when we were stopped at red lights, the people around us were looking at us like we were nuts 🤣
Yes! I saw him twice on stage!

I also would like to add Richard Simmonds sweating to the oldies. I did those videos with my mom so time spent with my mom laughing. . it’s funny after all these years when I recognize this song from that, my body instantly wants to do some of the movements 😂
Wow Mel...ur teachings r ammmazingly mindblowingly Super interesting and FANTASTIC !! I learn something new each time i listen to u . And u expln it so well...practical ! Thank you. GOD Bless
“You’ve lost my lovin feeling” …. Oh, yes. 😂
This is a beautiful podcast Mel, loved it
Excellent topic, listening to music it’s essential to bring back good memories.
Stair way to heaven.
Can you please make a step by step guide for us to keep and revert back to??? I love all your podcast videos but I’m a widow of 4 kids I don’t have all the time in the world to rewatch videos this long and writing it down myself is useless as I’m horrible with taking notes as I always seems to think I’ll remember what something meant when I re read it but when the time comes my mind draws blank as I suffer from cptsd
I do this all the time. My favorite song is Def Leppard Rocket ... I have a playlist that I use all the time to cruise and jam to uplift myself and reset my energy.
Anything by Def Leppard is just awesome! I wore out cassettes playing them over and over in the 80’s.
Pour some sugar on me is 1 of my fav’s❤❤
That was my 2nd "real" concert!! Queensryche opened for Def Leppard!! 1988 in Biloxi MS with my 1st "true love"!!!
@angelapursley2811 I waited my whole life but finally got to see them in concert 2 yrs ago... Joan Jet Poison DL and Motley Crue. Was AMAZING!
@tw2102 You and me both, lol. Thankfully, we now have things like Spotify & RUclips 😆
I immediately make a playlist in Spotify and it really works!! Thank you Mel 😘
My first accident. I got stuck on RR tracks. “ White Wedding” was playing. I was stunned frozen. I listened to that song. N feel that accident every time I hear that song. .
Thanks Mel!!! I love you, everything was great!!!😘🦋
Music has always been a true companion.
I loved this podcast! Thank you! Where is your suggested playlist?
My happy songs are Will I Know by Whitney and I will Survive by Ms Gayner
Thank you for this Mel! I have multiple play lists but love the new ideas you shared!!
What I wouldn’t have done to be at that concert Mel!! ❤
I needed to hear this today. I am going home to work on my playlist!! ❤
I hated high school so this isn’t a good topic. But college got better for me.
You’re forgetting the breakup music, Mel. Painful.
Hey, Mel. Is November Rain the song you were thinking of? It's a long song. Thank you for all you do for us.
Hello Mel, your Podcast totally changed my life and maybe you could make an episode about how to cut the cord with family members like over protecting mothers… you episode with Dr. Shefali was amazing and I think she would be perfekt for another episode with you … lots of love from germany! ❤️
Don Henley's The Boys of Summer gives me chills when I listen to it but I don't have specific memories for songs. I just remember being in my bedroom listening to the song. I listen to music every day though and know what I like. I went to a U2 concert once too and loved it. Going to a Pink concert this August with both of my daughters.
Definitely Stairway To Heaven ❤
I live near Austin, Texas, the music capital of our state. There is a nightclub called Elysium, and they have an 80’s night every Sunday night. We ARE ALL addicted to it! I will put a few songs in the comments that makes us all come ALIVE! Hope you enjoy
I've witnessed the same sort of response to music in horses. We've had several horses that might be acting goofy outside the show ring, but when they hear the "show" music, they would go right into work mode.
Love story-Taylor Swift
makes me think of my granddaughters. All 4 were all Taylor!
I have been to HUNDREDS of concerts! THE BEST thus far was 2003 @ the MS Coast Coliseum in Biloxi MS!!!PRINCE & The Revolution!! FRONT ROW...FREE TICKETS💜💜💜
(His sound guy even gave all of us cookies from Prince that he didn't eat in his dressing room!!!)
I had to work right after the show. I was a cocktail server at a local casino on graveyard. I didn't give a crap who was yelling at me for drinks, or didn't even worry when I would get stiffed on a tip or whatever BS went on that shift!!! 😂❤😂
I was on SUCH a natural high for weeks afterward!!
Flashdance movie songs, the first adult movie I watch at a movie theater! Until today, listening to the songs feeds me of life possibilities. I re-watched the movie... it did not aged well 😮😢😊😅... But the soundtrack stills MY Madeleine of Proust. Flashdance movie soundtracks, all of them put a smile on my face, gives me energy, and strength, tears of the past, squeezing of the heart and huge hopes for the future. I remember that first day at a movie theater like if it was yesterday.. I was eleven years old !
Hey Mel! The Looooooong slow song you were wondering about - is it "Night to remember" by Prism? Lol - I totally remember that song too! It's either that or later...."Purple Rain" by Prince (obviously-lol). Good times!!
I overused this music trick for years, and now, unfortunately, it doesn't work as well anymore, except when I can find a "new" old song that I didn't try to exploit before or something I haven't heard in a long time. The brain tends to replace old memories with new ones. If you listen to something too often in the present because it's linked to your past, you may end up weakening that association because you have more current memories of listening to that song. For that reason, I try to rotate the music I listen to according to my mood. I select things that my mom, sisters, or brother used to like, and other music from different periods of my life. I try to alternate with stuff I currently enjoy (which is often from the 80s as well, but without specific memories attached to it, lol). I'll go for the childhood songs when I need to get motivated or put myself in a certain mood, and I try not to listen to anything too often. I'll play a song for 2-3 days, then switch to something else, or I'll stop listening to music altogether for a little while.
AHH..ESCAPE is the name of the Pina Colada song!!!!!!😂 i knew itbwould come to my brain hahaha
Freebird?
Thank you so much! I couldn't think of anything! That's the one!!
Either that or stairway to heaven
I saw the original band early 70😊s. I’ll never forget that concert. Like a tiny Woodstock !
You’re the best Mel🤗
@melrobbins This is so on point! I just purchased a replica of my stereo, I have the original but it was in rough shape. Now I can play my cassettes!
Loved this video Mel, get vivid memories all the time I hear songs from the past that make me feel good, for example Donna Summer's Loves Unkind and Blondie's Denis etc etc, the same with certain smells like libraries and scents too, this also brings back memories to me too.❤🇬🇧👍
Thank you.
Yes music is good for the soul. It can stir up memories, feelings, sights , and sounds from the past. Love your daughters new single🎉❤ Diamond girl, , summer breeze, brings me back to the beach as a young girl!
38 Special- Hold on Loosely!
Sturgis Michigan 1980’s
Just went to a Northwoodstock Fest! In northern WI. Saw Jefferson Starship. Forgot about some of the songs they sang! Best music and best time I had in a long time!
MEL!! I couldn’t find you music playlist!!
Wang Chung Don’t Let Go will always get me motivated.
Love your motivation video
i agree with this but also, why media controls music for that control over society.
Stairway to heaven
❤ Don't be embarrassed Mel, you are making joyful noise!
Definitely Stairway to Heaven
Yes!
