Let\u2019s 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\u2019s a new song discovery for your gym or jogging music mix. Maybe it\u2019s your power song when it\u2019s 2:30 in the afternoon and you still have three more conference calls<\/u> that easily could be simple emails.<\/p>\n
No matter what the need, here\u2019s this week\u2019s installment.<\/p>\n
I used to go see this band \u2013 Stavesacre \u2013 when I lived in LA. Hard rock with big melodies and a signer with a super unique voice.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n
How\u2019s that for Monday Motivation?<\/p>\n
You love your band. Everyone working on dreams and responsibilities and families\u2026but still being committed to keeping their music alive from multiple time zones.<\/p>\n
I have no excuses for not finishing projects with\u00a0friends now!<\/p>\n
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\u2019s a reminder that \u201cIt\u2019s beautiful once you\u2019re out here\u2026just get in the car in drive.\u201d Stress can cloud my vision and make bad decisions seem ok\u2026until that still small voice says \u201cwalk away.\u201d<\/p>\n
But the best part of this song is the bridge. That bridge!<\/p>\n
All you burdens \u2013 weigh you down<\/strong><\/p>\n There\u2019s dignity \u2013 there is release in standing<\/strong><\/p>\n on your feet \u2013 and scream I\u2019m Letting Go!<\/strong><\/p>\n Let it go\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2026. YOUR LIFE IS WAITING, just get in the car and drive.<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s beautiful once you\u2019re out here.<\/strong><\/p>\n 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\u2019s dignity in staying no. In letting go. In taking time for yourself. In just getting in the car to drive.<\/p>\n See for yourself\u2026and go add this to your workout mix. You\u2019ll be glad you did.<\/p>\n
