Passage 2
Start your day with the powerful positive input of high-energy music. Everyone enjoys different kinds of music so you need to use what you like. Just be sure you start the day listening to the kind of high-energy music that gets you PUMPED! It could be rock and roll or country or jazz or pop or whatever makes you feel great about yourself. It is important to start the day off with positive energy and enthusiasm in order to effectively tackle the challenges that you might encounter. If you put yourself in a good mood before you have to deal with problems you could be facing, it makes the frustration much easier to handle.
It is not always easy to “hit the ground running”, especially at the start of the day, but you will feel better about yourself both personally and professionally. Research has shown that people who use high energy music to start their day have increased productivity by as much as 200%!
