Discussion of the Week- What Type of Music Inspires You?

Happy Monday Musicheads! I wanna provide you some food for thought as you start your work week. Have you ever listened to music that makes you want to DO better…..or BE better….You know, songs that get you hyped and put you in the mindset that you’re ready to conquer the world. This is usually what my playlist is like in the morning when I’m leaving for work. With all the negativity that exists getting on an inner-city train during rush hour, I desperately need something positive to counteract all those bad vibes- so my inspiration playlist helps to keep my sanity in check.  There’s no particular genre of music that inspires me, but the #1 requirement is that it has to be something up-tempo, and that I can move to. It has to be a collection of songs that have heart, as well as a great beat. It has to serve the purpose of both fueling me during my morning commute, as well as in the evening at the gym. That type of music inspires me to run faster, to jump higher, to push a little more when I think I have nothing left to give. When I really need to get pumped, all I have to do is put on “Gonna Fly Now, or Eye of the Tiger” and my motivation goes from 0 to 60 in a matter of seconds. I’m a huge Rocky fan... Can’t you tell?

Do you have any songs, or particular type of music that inspires you to be your best? Do you find that it helps you accomplish your goals? Let me know by sounding off in the comments…
