The therapeutic benefits of Mamma Mia

I spent this evening watching Mamma Mia on my laptop! Who knew one film can make you so happy, joyful and positive all at once? I needed a bit of a boost after a bad day and Mamma Mia did it for me! I was singing along to all my favourite ABBA classics including dancing queen, mamma mia, gimme gimme gimme and sos.... often going back and watching some of the scenes again and again. I put on my pyjamas and danced around my room pretending to me Meryl Streep singing along with her.

My favourite bit is when all the women stop what they are doing and start following Meryl Streep and her friends singing Dancing Queen. Then they all dance together on the pier. This bit always brings a tear to my eye. It's such an uplifting part of the film that makes me feel so alive! It is such an empowering song!

Right now I am listening to my other happy song of the moment - Pocket full of Sunshine by Natasha Bedingfield. Anyone who has seen the film Easy A knows this song and its another cheesy happy cute song. This is another song that I like to dance around my room to just like Emma Stone does in Easy A!
