Unemployed or underemployed? Either way, you've probably got more time in your day than the 8 to 5'er who spends 12 hours of their day working and commuting.
If you've followed the tips of many career counselors who've said, "take time out for yourself," you may have found that despite your loathe of the gym, you've become a regular just as a means to get out of the house.
Well, if you hate the gym as much as I do, you need a playlist to motivate you while you're on the treadmill to nowhere---nowhere except to your next job. The perfect playlist can not only motivate you to finish your workout, it can also kick us in the butt and remind us that something better's out there---something better than what we could ever imagine for ourself.
My unemployed playlist includes:
Dreams, Van Halen: "Reach for the golden ring, reach for the sky... spread your wings"
Let it Be, The Beatles: "There will be an answer....let it be."
Suddenly I See, KT Tunsal: "Suddenly I see, this is what I want to be."
I'm Still Standing, Elton John: "I'm still standing better than I ever did, looking like a true survivor."
Unwritten, Natasha Bedingfield: "Staring at the blank page before you....reaching for something in the distance so close you can almost taste it."
Fame, Irene Cara: "You ain't the seen the best of me yet... I've got more in me."
Gonna Fly Now, Theme from Rocky: "Training hard now...feeling strong now, won't be long now."
You Can't Always Get What You Want, Rolling Stones: "You can't always get what you want, but if you try, you get what you need."
Defying Gravity, Wicked Soundtrack, "I'm through accepting limits because someone says there so, some things I cannot change, but until I try I'll never know."
What's on yours?
