While working out and listening to music, we naturally seem to pick the songs that feel right for that day. What if we were to take it a step further? Use your music choices as an emotional stimulation to get those training sessions or workouts feeling just right. Create your personal “Power Playlists.” 
A fun game is to ask yourself “what type of music do I feel like today?” It is even more powerful when you match that style to the goal you want to achieve, such as “I need to get work done, I feel like rock music” or “I’d like to sweat a little extra during my workout, I feel like hip-hop ” or maybe “I’d like to smooth out my mood and feel a consistent groove, so I’m a bit like World music/beats”. Regardless of what type of music you feel like, this will in essence create a sense of trust and self-empowerment. Connecting with your musical inner feelings, will always steer you towards happiness, success and achieving your goals!
