Resiliency: A Soundtrack

Find more Tip O' the Days here....

Music is powerful and can be very inspirational. I've also found it incredibly helpful in my ability to become and remain resilient even during the hardest of times.

Last year I bought my first premium Spotify membership or whatever they call it and it made a huge and positive impact on my energy and productivity level.  So, this year, I renewed it and got the family package.  The kids are already getting out of bed earlier...I just blast it on the little speaker I bought off Craigslist (for $10....would have been 50 bucks new...but that just ain't me).

Confession time: I'm frugal. Like crazy frugal. Anyone who knows me well, knows this and it likely drives them crazy. I avoid spending money except when it comes to buying a really good pair of shoes (that helps me avoid the chiropractor...so maybe that still counts for frugality) and Spotify.

So, here it is.  I created this sound track for myself and the women I get to work with and witness as they pivot, transition, and transform their career paths.

You don't have to use Spotify. YouTube does the trick or however other ways you access music.
Remember, I'm an eccentric....not everybody likes what I like and vice versa.  Not every song is going to be ones that work for you...but here's a start to help you get your own list going.

Some of the songs just have a great beat for me and keep me moving even when times get tough.
Please share your favorite songs that help you feel resilient in the comments section.
