Did you know that music affects our emotions ? Out of all the senses that we have, the sense of hearing or auditory sense is highly susceptible to external influence. So many times i see people emotionally upset, and the culprit is the sense of sound. "Its not what he said, Priya, it's how he said it, that hurt me !" my friend complained, truly hurt by her colleague. Is that not true in so many cases ? Its not what was said, its how it was said that evokes an emotion.
So if sound must influence me, i must USE sound to influence me to a position of power. That would be a smart thing to do right ?
Here is what i suggest: Make a power album. This album would contain 18 songs that uplift you, that compel you to tap your feet, or make you spin, or hum, or cheer you up or fill you up with electricity and excitement. And make sure that you play this album for yourself every single day.
I have my power album loaded in my car, and i have it in my car since two years. Each time i get into my car, i come alive with energy, enthusiasm and a zest that peps me up for the day. "I love to drive" I tell people and it shocks them. "How can someone love to drive in Bombay ?" is a curious question I always get back. What I actually mean is, that sitting in my car and listening to my music is what puts me in a peak state and I love it.
I have noticed that whenever I drive, I arrive cheerful wherever I go, whether it is going to work or coming back home, Im inspired and energized.
What a gift to yourself that would make ! To consciously set yourself up for a good day.
Go ahead, make your power album, and hey... do comment on what your power songs are. It would be lovely to have some more in my collection ;o)

i am a kind of person who is greatly affected by words.if some one says any thing bad to me i feel very bad and get depressed and some one says some thing good to me i feel very good and energetic.
but i am crazy for music, i love to listen to music.
so many times i was feeling depressed and i heard some good songs and felt much better.
MY DREAM IS TO DRIVE MY OWN CAR AND LISTEN TO LOUD MUSIC ON PUNA EXPRESS HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF 180.
Great, so many tools, now it's the time to use them. I was thinking about the songs that i like which will put me to a peak state but was quite difficult, it took me long to think of the songs mentioned below. I will put them in my cell so that i can access them any moment, Thank You for the blog

Hey, Coach, thanks once again, for puttin thoughts into words
We all know of our power songs I guess but never practically use them.
Will update you with my power album very soon!
I wake up with music and go to sleep with it, Nietzsche said" without music life would be a mistake,i would only believe in a god that would know how to dance "
he is very right i think. my favorite power cd now is, a australian band named "all india radio" :) how everything is connected!! they have some video's on youtube.com also daniel lanois "maker " is another great song to start the day with, at nights i listen to ambient music, like brian eno and harold budd, mozart.
Hi,I am sweet 61 (reverse of 16). although I am young at heart but i cherish old songs(sad or happy does not matter) as long as i can understand the meaning & it should have meaning & not nonsense as most the songs are today. I stay tuned to worldspace once I m alone& I dont feel lonely at all.
Simply Great. No it not the idea of power album, no doubt it is great but there is something more great. The correlation, the correlation between two different activities. One which is compulsive to be done say in this case it is driving and the second you love to do but can’t do due to certain constrain, say in this case it is the love to music but the constrain is time. But if we may be able to correlate two different activities with different dimensions, we may explore a new world full of unbelievable possible.
