While on Saturday’s epic hike, I reflected about how I don’t always give my body enough props for guiding me through physical challenges.
I realized that music plays a big role in amp’ing me up for physical challenges, so wanted to share some of my favorite confidence boosting songs!
How do you amp yourself up for physical challenges?
What are your favorite songs to kick start your self confidence?
1) “Wanna Fly” by Vassy
2) “Little Bit Of Feel Good” by Jamie Lidell
3) “On To The Next One” by Jay Z featuring Swizz Beatz
4) “Kiss You Off” by Scissor Sisters
5) “Everybody Wants To Rule The World” by Tears For Fears
6) “Hate On Me” by Jill Scott

Lately I have been re-living my college days–musically anyway, I don’t think I could survive the other stuff. Today for example I have been listening to Soundgarden, who I fondly recall seeing in concert in 1993. Once in awhile I throw in some Damien Rice or Paul Oakenfold for something different.

Love the early/mid 90′s alternative music!
Recently posted a couple playlists from the era:

Ah yes memory lane, Cracker, NIN, Nirvana… I will probably create a few more playlists myself.

Love this list! I need hip hop, rap and dancehall to keep me shakin’ it. My favorite at the moment is the Major Lazer and La Roux collab/mashup Lazerproof–”Independent Kill” just does not get old!

I LOVE Lazerproof!!!
Also really into “All The Girls” by Bag Raiders

the song “wonderful” by gary go is AMAZING. the beat isn’t super “pump you up” but it is so positive and I love to run to it.

Awesome mix of stuff! I love the Scissor Sisters and “On to the Next One” has been my race mantra this year (heh). Adding this to my playlist page!
