Music Is For The Soul!

Hi, everybody. Happy Thursday afternoon. Today, I just want to apologize a little bit late to the game today. From the perspective of using my 130 tales from leadership. Had to get moved back just a little bit today. I apologize. I'm here, I'm ready to rock. And I'm going to give you a tip today that's changed my life, and I hope this works for you. Okay, so I had two really, really, really big meetings today. Two really, really big meetings. Okay. I had one earlier today, and I had one this afternoon.

So before each meeting, what I do, okay, this is just a thing that's worked for me since I've been 15 years old. I select music right before these big meetings, I select both songs, and I have the song ready to go. Right? So right before I'm going, I sing it. I sing it loud in my car. And you should hear it. It's just. It's terrible. So the one was counting crows, rain king. Right? So I got counting cross ranking going. I'm singing. I'm singing loud. Probably the people next to me are thinking, God, that guy's crazy.

Or number two, maybe, then heard me through and said, his voice is terrible. But regardless, it's what I do, and it's what I've always done to kind of release some of that anxiety before big meetings. So maybe you're in sales. Maybe you're applying for a new job. Maybe you have a little bit of stress in your internship with XYZ organization, or you're coming to lead a meeting at your company with six new fresh faces. Something along those lines. Maybe you're feeling a little anxious or feeling a little overwhelmed about the situation.

I just want to press you to give music a try. I think music has a lot of therapy. I think music has a lot of means to it that gets you to cool down, just calm out relaxation, and just find zen within yourself and be really, really prepared for that opportunity that's going to come right to you. So remember this for the next time. The next time you have a big meeting, the next time you have a big event, work or otherwise, or in your life. What's that song that you go to that you can sing your heart out to?

You can listen to? You can get those anxious feelings out of your system prior to your big meeting. And like I said, I had two of those today. One where my stomach was a little in knots and the other one where my hands were a little sweaty palms. I still get super nervous even before my big meetings, right. So I go right back to my music I listen to my music, and that is absolutely something that works 110% for me. Some people, it's pearl jam, some people, it's the bee gees, whatever it is. But I'm telling you, it works, and it works, and it gets my mind right.

And I am so prepared, ready to go before those impactful meetings that have, you know, changed my life and others. So listen to music before those big meetings. I hope that helps with a little bit of your anxiety, whether it's before an interview, a big meeting, or something along those lines. So have an amazing day, everybody. And I hope that little bit of feedback works for you. Give it a try next time. Take care, y'all. Have an amazing day.
