You've got goals. You've made plans. You're on your way!
But today, you’re feeling as blah as a wet weekend. Sigh*
That initial fiery motivation you felt has dwindled to barely a flicker.
Don’t worry. It happens to all of us!
You can’t always rely on feeling inspired by your new habits, even when you know they are the very things moving you toward your goals. Some days, you just might be overwhelmed, down in the dumps, or feel like you just can’t get going.
What you need is a Theme song!
When planning your week, choose a song with beats that boost your energy, lyrics that lift your spirits, or sounds that soothe your mind. Having music that supports the way you want to feel or take action can help you feel empowered to stay on track with your goals. Choose whatever style or song is just right for YOU and play it daily or whenever you need a little boost. It really does work wonders!
Don't have a favorite? Here is a list of 80 songs that could be your new jam. Try one out this week. Pick one. Write it down and post it somewhere to remind you.
