Music that Motivates

[Guest3722A]

If anyone's interested in seeing what's out there locally, here's an mp3 from one of the underground metal bands out here in the Detroit area. These guys have been at it for about 13 years now.

Mindrought - Avagadro

Eminems "Phenominal", which was featured in Jake Gyllenhaal's South Paw, is a fantastic anthem for those who work.

If I have brain fog I start out with acoustic/emotional music. Don't know why it kick starts it. If I am in rev up mode mentally I listen to metalcore. If I am getting tired/on a long stretch of work trancey edm seems to help. I take breaks of 10-15 minutes in between sets of around 10 songs to give my ears/head a break and if I notice my concentration wavering/paying too much attention to the music.

I'm not a big Hip Hop guy, but the song "Heart of a Champion" by Nelly is sort of motivating.

I will definitely try it I really enjoy music.

Here's a bit of a funny story about this video. Back in the day I opened an 18,000 sq ft rehearsal hall for bands where I partitioned a bunch of rooms and rented them out month to month. One evening I get a phone call from my security guard telling me there's motorcycles in the building and punker types with mohawks and blue hair and all that and I need to get down there. So, when I got there sure enough, never a dull moment, I come to find out that someone was filming an MTV2 video in one of the rooms. I found the guys in charge, let em know they forgot to inform 'someone' and I wrote up a quick contract and had em sign on to responsibility/liability and all that, and let em at it. In this video you'll see they crammed a bunch of kids in the room, spray painted up the walls and jammed their tune out with everyone rockin around em. Fun fun fun

Maybe one day some of you will realize that there's more business ideas out there than just internet based. Fun businesses. Cool businesses. This place was clearing $16k+ a month and the goal was to take over the mid-west before it ran into CONTROL issues... You guys truly do not know how lucky you are to have the fastlane forum with all the helpful tips and shared experiences that've been building up here over the years. If I would've had the information the forum provides back then, I do believe I would've had a different outcome.

Another cool story. This gentleman's guitarist quietly rented space from me when prepping for their '06 tour. Very cool guy

Think back to a time that something scared the hell out of you. It could be a movie, could be a haunted house. Could be a time that you saw something out of the corner of your eye that made you jump.

Nothing happened to you. Nothing actually hurt you or caused you pain.

You felt your heart racing didn't you? If you took your pulse, it would be way up. If you did blood work, you'd see high levels of stress hormones.

If you think about an animal, its body works by a natural clock. These are the Circadian rhythms that make you feel energetic at some parts of the day and lazy at other times.

Human beings are pretty unique since we can interfere in the natural patterns. A cat or a dog won't get anxious wondering about how it's going to pay the rent. When it gets tired in the afternoon, it'll just go to sleep. Us, we'll slam espresso shots and Modafinil and blast loud music to grind on through.

It turns out that the two things are related. That is, the ability to artificially pump ourselves up with music and chemicals is also creating real changes in your body's functioning. You're increasing stress hormones, other chemicals that signal inflammation, and generally keeping your whole system in "alert" mode when it really needs to unwind.

When you do this, you're taking a little bit out of the bank of reserves that your body has accumulated over time. That's not just a metaphor. There's a lot of work in biology and psychology which show that keeping yourself "on" all the time, ignoring the natural cycles, actually taxes your physical condition.

If you've ever taken a long road-trip, you've experienced this first hand. How do you feel after eight, ten, twelve hours behind the wheel? Like a used-up towel. You didn't "do" anything. It's not like you were baling hay or working sheet metal all day long. But you're beat.

Two things are happening when you try to stay switched on all the time. You're keeping yourself at a constant "stressed" condition, and you're interrupting your body's natural ups and downs.

This means you can actually cause physical burnout by staying emotionally motivated all the time.

When you burn out physically, your mental state goes with it. Ever tried to focus on something when you are physically exhausted?

That's where the death spiral kicks on.

You aren't on point when you're physically tired. So you drink more energy drinks, blast the music harder and louder... and you make it even worse.

The thing about stress is that your body can handle a little bit. In fact it needs a little bit. Avoiding emotional arousal entirely is just as bad as living in it all the time.

But I used to see all the guys in the gym who couldn't do a workout without turning the dial up to 11. I see all these entrepreneurs who think they need to feel motivated for 15 hours a day to get anything done. And that's what will run you into the ground.

Learning how to keep that energy in reserve most of the time and bring it out when you need it is where the magic happens.

I see what you're saying. Do you think it's possible to make tunes addictive like alcohol and nicotine? I know there's super-fans out there for groups like say Floyd or Zeppelin. And rightfully so seeing that both write masterpiece work. But I don't think they write in a way that creates physical addiction. Is that even possible? I know this is way out there but if the chemicals in our brains can be altered with similar stimuli, you'd think there could be a way.

That's an interesting question.

(Sorry I don't have a good answer to it. I could make all kinds of guesses, but it would just be guessing.)

Guess away if you're feeling it. It does seem that people are kinda easy to condition. Look at what Facebook did with it's use of likes and how it throws people into a habit forming loop that begins with a contribution that may lead to a variable reward triggered by an audible signal on a phone and a little red visual notification that when clicked shows that others have approved. Acceptance into the tribe has been gained and the loop most likely will be re-entered with additional contribution. With the way music as we know it is created, there's no listener contribution. But why not?

So baby dry your eyes,
save all The tears you've cried
Oh that's what dreams are made of
'Cause we belong in a world that must be strong
Oh that's what dreams are made of
