Music to my Ears
Use music to set your intentions for your work
Believe it or not, but I’m not always “on my game” until I crank up some music and feel the beats. Then I’m ready to get to work. I think the same is true for most of us. We aren’t really at our peak performance until we have some help.
This week, Carly wrote a post discussing the importance of music and how it plays a role in your athletic performance. She left us with a playlist on Amazon Music that’s sure to help guide your next interval workout - whether it’s on the bike, on the treadmill, or lifting weights.
And while Carly made the playlist to get your juices flowing for an interval workout, I also use music to help me get in a flow state for calming down.
Friday’s Action Plan:
Make a playlist on your favorite platform and use it to help boost your performance.
