A song that motivates you
There is more than one kind of motivation. Most days, I don’t have too much trouble getting out of bed. While my schedule is flexible, I typically still get to work on time. This 30-Day Music Challenge is helping me stay motivated to write. My employer might describe me as a self-starter.
That’s not always the case when it comes to exercise. To my credit, I only really need the motivation to actually get up and go to the gym or the running trail. Once I get there, I’m good to go. However, sometimes Kevin Hart shouting at me through the Nike+ Run Club app isn’t enough to get me through the last stretch of a mile. For Day 22 of the 30-Day Music Challenge, I chose a song that gives me that extra boost of adrenaline when I need it most.
While my first introduction to A$AP Mob gave me a much more relaxed, drug-induced feeling, A$AP Ferg’s music has more energy than a six year-old high on sugar tablets. “New Level” featuring Future has been one of my favorite tunes to blast during a workout. It’s great as a warm-up track, but it’s especially motivating when I start to run out of gas. Something about “I’m on a new level!” and “Ooooooh oooooooooh” makes me push a little harder.
If “New Level” isn’t on your workout playlist, you’re tripping. But, I would love to know what songs get you pumped up and motivated. Comment and let me know the artist and title. Also, tomorrow we’ll choose a song with a person’s name in the title.
