Great Tool For Motivation

Good morning,

Today I am going to discuss a great way to get motivated. This is a simple and fun way to get yourself pumped up.

Have you ever heard of the song, "Eye Of The Tiger"? It's from a band called survivor. From the film "ROCKY".

How do you think if every morning when you woke up, you listened to that song and that song only. Would you feel pumped up and ready to take any challenge that came your way? Would you have that extra kick in your step? Would you feel unstoppable?

I use this exercise to get pumped up every morning and it keeps me pumped up through the morning. Do you know why? Because if that is the one song that you listened to, you will be singing the song in your head all morning. The last song that you hear usually sticks in your head. This is something you can use as a great motivator every morning.

Now, I'm not saying you have to listen to "Eye of The Tiger." Pick what ever songs get you pumped up. It could be an AC/DC song, it could be any song that gets you moving and pumped up.

You can also use music to change what state your in. Example, if your sad about something, listen to a happy, joyful, inspiring song. It will change your state of mind and by changing your state of mind, you will be more open and productive.

The greatest way to use this is to start recording / burning your own emotional cd's. Pick about 7 - 10 songs that get you really pumped up. Record them onto a cd. Pick other songs that put you in different empowering moods and record them onto a cd. Think about the moods you like to be in and pick certain songs that will take you there. Happy, Inspirational, Motivational, etc.
Record all these on a cd and make sure you write down each track and what each track does for you. That way every morning, if you want to feel pumped up, listen to one of the songs that are going to make you feel that way. If you feel sad for some reason, listen to one of the "Happy" songs you recorded. You'll start to feel better. Keep this cd with you all the time, so you can change your state anytime you want to.

Music is a powerful tool to help you express a large number of emotions, including the dis empowering ones. So make your "Emotional CD" and have fun with it. You can update your CD every once in a while by making a different CD with different songs. But, let music be a part of your life, let it empower you with the motivation you need to achieve your goals.

Until next time, remember to make great decisions and lead a great life.
