Let yourself wallow as you box up a part of your life. It's okay.

So when moving and packing up your things, a playlist is necessary. Now the key is to not play songs you've connected with while living in the "safe" area. But rather find songs that allow you to feel sad, but will also convince you to move forward. Find the songs that you can sing along to and totally relate to. Or if all else fails put on some Patsy Cline. She should be every one's sad music in my opinion. You can just hear her voice and know, someone else felt this. But for those wanting a little more selection, try this one.

P.s. The Norah Jones helps mellow you out without being too dramatic. You can never not be in a Norah Jones mood if you ask me.

Moving Playlist #1:
Turn Me On - Norah Jones

***P.s.s. Sorry, it's a little more female friendly. For the males out there...any song you feel is too girlie, just switch it with a Frank Sinatra Song. It'll do the trick.
