FRIDAY PROGRAMMING --- Author: Debra Fox --- Corporate Trainer/Motivational Speaker |
If you're like me, you love listening to great music. In fact, there is nothing better in my book than driving with the sunroof open, a big gulp in the cup holder, and great tunes blaring on the stereo!
In my seminars I talk about the importance of committing to feeding your soul on a daily basis. This advice is based on the theory Garbage in --- Garbage out!
Statistics show that on any given day, we are inundated with more than 3,000 negative inputs. Where from? Spouse, children, in-laws, out-laws, neighbors, co-workers, bosses, billboards, pop-up screens on your computer, magazines, newspapers, television, radio and the list goes on!
3,000 negative influences PER DAY. And you wonder why you often feel discouraged, down, depressed, frustrated?
Hold on --- it gets worse. In order to offset ONE (just ONE) negative input, you need 12 positive influences. Let me do the math for you. That's 36,000 positive influences per day just to emotionally break even...how are you coming on that?
This is why you must commit to feeding your soul -- with positive, motivational, uplifting input daily.
So while I love listening to great music in my car, I have also turned my car into my positive influence center. I commit to listening to motivational, educational and uplifting materials for 30 minutes each day while I'm driving. Let's face it...there isn't much else you can do in the car -- and this activity could be one of the most powerful things you do in your career.
READERS: Share what you are listening to in YOUR positive influence center.
