Music
I recently saw a client and asked her if she likes to work out to music. She actually said no, she valued quiet more than music because she never got to experience it. She should definitely work out in quietness.
But if you’re the type of person that can hear a song and be instantly transformed to a better place, or reminded of one of the great moments of your life, then by all means, use music to get you there, especially when working out.
Music is one of the best ways to get ourselves to a motivated state. Here is a list of songs that have a great beat, positive energy and/or lyrics to live by. Many were played during my week in Palm Springs and every time I hear them I smile and remember 
Enjoy.
Song: Give a Little Bit
Album: Let Love In
Artist: Goo Goo Dolls
It’s possible, at times, we over think our lives and it can overwhelm us with doubt and uncertainty. One way to shift the focus is to “Give a Little Bit”, like the same titled Goo Goo Dolls songs says. The song was originally done by Supertramp. Both versions rock! Today I’ll do my best and give a little bit to others. Join me in sharing what is special about you with others. Not only are you getting healthier and stronger everyday, but together we can contribute what is so often in short supply, love, kindness and gratitude with those we come into contact with. Listen to the song and give a little bit…

My friends always bust my chops because I pick a new song I love after it’s a year or two old already. That’s because I don’t watch TV or listen to the radio. I heard the song “Bulletproof” by La Roux while out and love the theme.

Song- This is your life
Artist- Switchfoot
Album- The Beautiful Letdown
Lyrics- “This is your life; are you who you want to be? Is it everything you dreamed of when the world was younger and you had everything to lose.”
My recommendation- Sit in the sun, face tilted up, smile, and think about who and what you love most. Smile again. If you can think it, you can make it happen. This IS YOUR life and you have something special to do. You’re in control. Start doing it today. As the song says, “Today is all you have, today is all you’ll ever have. I hope you have fun and get what you want most.
