Like most people out there, I was never a morning person. This is something that changed when a friend of mine recommended that I listen to music when I wake up in the morning. Here are a few things that I found out about how music can make even the grumpiest person a regular morning “Joe”.
Choice of Music
While there are very many types of music out there, finding what exactly gets you the bed is a great start. You do not want to be that guy/lady that listens to blues songs just when you need to get up and catch that 7 o’clock subway train to work.
Choose something that will get you out of bed and in to the groove.
Mood
Everyone has a list of songs that put them in different moods. Even if you are not that much of a music lover, whenever you hear a song over the radio, TV or as you pass by, there is a certain mindset it puts you in. Make sure that the music you choose to listen to does not put you in a foul mood when you are going to work or carrying on with your day-to-day activities – unless that’s are requirement!
Get Inspired
Music can inspire you. Yeah, I know! I sound like that old music teacher you had in high school that was always trying to get you to join the Glee Club.
It is a proven fact that music can inspire people to both achieve and strive for certain things; why then do you think they use it in meditation? Choose the right kind of music every morning and see how it will change your life.
Move to the Beat
We all know what type of music makes us want to throw “our hands in the air and move them like we do not care”. Listen to music that gets you in the zone. You will find yourself moving along and getting things done quickly. Before you know it you will be out of bed, in to the shower and out of your drive speeding off to work.
If you want to be a morning person and would consider music as an option to achieving this, then choosing the right kind of music can give you the results that you want. Do try it and you will definitely see the difference.
