Let’s see if we can get a little music motivation happening each week. Maybe this is a good morning song to get you moving before you indulge in your coffee. Maybe it’s a new song discovery for your gym or jogging music mix. Maybe it’s your power song when it’s 2:30 in the afternoon and you still have three more conference calls that easily could be simple emails.
No matter what the need, here’s this week’s installment.
I used to go see this band – Stavesacre – when I lived in LA. Hard rock with big melodies and a signer with a super unique voice. What’s not to love?? It looks as if families and jobs and life have caused this 5 piece band to now be making music while living in three different states.
How’s that for Monday Motivation?
You love your band. Everyone working on dreams and responsibilities and families…but still being committed to keeping their music alive from multiple time zones.
I have no excuses for not finishing projects with friends now!
So this is one of my favorite workout songs – for many reasons. It reminds me to take the first step. When the walls start to push in after long hours in my home office, it’s a reminder that “It’s beautiful once you’re out here…just get in the car in drive.” Stress can cloud my vision and make bad decisions seem ok…until that still small voice says “walk away.”
But the best part of this song is the bridge. That bridge!
All you burdens – weigh you down
There’s dignity – there is release in standing
on your feet – and scream I’m Letting Go!
Let it go…
…. YOUR LIFE IS WAITING, just get in the car and drive.
It’s beautiful once you’re out here.
On a Monday, I desperately need to remember this. My burdens feel heavy this morning. My shoulders hurt and the weight of my to-do list is like a punch in the gut. But there’s dignity in staying no. In letting go. In taking time for yourself. In just getting in the car to drive.
See for yourself…and go add this to your workout mix. You’ll be glad you did.
