We are well into January of 2015 and I don’t know about you, but I am very excited for what lies ahead this year. I think it is incredibly important to get a strong start to the year, in order to lay the ground work and plans that will begin to really blossom as the year progresses. It’s not always easy for me to get motivated to take on a lot, especially during the winter months when I tend to be tired because of short days and less sunlight, and of course, it’s so cold all you want to do is cuddle with dozens of blankets, but I have to keep myself motivated and often times, music is the best way to pump up my mind and my spirit! So, I put together a playlist of inspiration and aspirational music to kick of this series for the new year!
As usual you can check out and listen to my playlist for the month via Spotify for free, but here are the list of tracks you will find!
- Suddenly I See by KT Tunstall
- Titanium by David Guetta
- All About that Bass by Meghan Trainor
- Pompeii by Jasmine Thompson
- My Way by Frank Sinatra
- Set Fire to the Rain by Adele
- Back to Black by Amy Winehouse
- Off to the Races by Lana Del Rey
- Feeling Good by Nina Simone
- Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell

Of course, I hope you check out the playlist and let me know what you think! I’d love to see a pic of you enjoying this playlist at work or at home, so make sure to snap a pic and tag me on Instagram @MissTrenchcoat! Also, feel free to let me know in the comments which songs you have been listening to to keep you motivated and inspired for productivity this month!

I looooove Suddenly I see! Actually, it’s my current ringtone. I like it mostly because it’s the song played at the beggining of The Deil wears Prada (favourite film). And it just have that motivating thing that gives me willpower and strenght!
YES! That is the exact reason I love the song as well! Whenever I hear it, I think of Devil Wears Prada too, and I feel like I need to get back to the #HUSTLE! I love that we have that in common Maria, thanks so much for telling me!
When I need to get things done, I turn to my trustly Depeche Mode station on Pandora. And always have to take a break when “Love Comes Quickly” by Pet Shop Boys comes on to sing with it, but I’ve trained that station to just be so…happy, ha!
Great list Alexis! I also have a hard time during the winter season. My favorite for the past few years has been Titanium. It energizes me so much! 🙂
