Summary

Today we’re talking about finding a song that puts you in the mood that you want to be in. One that pumps you up, or inspires or, or reminds you of what's important to you. 

Sometimes I listen to it once a week and other times I listen to it 5 times a day.

When you’re picking your song… think about how you want to FEEL… and what message really speaks to you .. that you want to remind yourself of often.

Here are the lyrics to my music mantra song!! 

Biscuits by Kacey Musgraves 

Taking down your neighbor won't take you any higher

I burned my own damn finger poking someone else's fire

I've never gotten taller making someone else feel small

If you ain't got nothing nice to say, don't say nothing at all

Just hoe your own row and raise your own babies

Smoke your own smoke and grow your own daisies

Mend your own fences and own your own crazy

Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy

Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy

 

Nobody's perfect, we've all lost and we've all lied

Most of us have cheated, the rest of us have tried

The holiest of holies even slip from time to time

We've all got dirty laundry hanging on the line

 

So hoe your own row, yeah, and raise your own babies

Smoke your own smoke and grow your own daisies

Mend your own fences and own your own crazy

Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy

Yeah mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy

 

Pouring salt in my sugar won't make yours any sweeter

Pissing in my yard ain't gonna make yours any greener

And I wouldn't know about the rocks in your shoes

So I'll just do me and, honey, you can just do you (so low)

 

So hoe your own row, yeah raise your own babies

Smoke your own smoke and grow your own daisies

Mend your own fences and own your own crazy

Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy

Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy

Maybe you want this song to be your music mantra too!  I’m telling you… it’s a good one! 

Hoping this episode inspired you to find your music mantra.  A song that gets you in the frame of mind that you want to be in.  Maybe you listen in the morning to get going in the right way… or you listen when you’re in a funk or feeling yourself having an off day and you need a little pick me up.  Whatever it is… music is powerful and this is such a great way to remind yourself of who you want to be and how you want to feel and the energy that you want to put into the world… and it feels more fun and more natural in the process.

Cheers friends, to whatever mantra speaks to you and to minding your own biscuits and life will be gravy!

I love a good mantra, something that speaks to you and to what's important to you and your goals.

0:05.7

There are so many tips out there about writing something down that you read every morning

0:10.0

or reciting your goals and beliefs in a mirror.

0:13.3

And I love all of this, but I've never heard anyone talk about how valuable it can be

0:18.0

to pick a song as your mantra.

0:20.5

Now maybe you do this in addition to whatever

0:22.7

other mantra or self-talk that you do, but for me, this is such an effortless way to get in the

0:28.2

mindset that I want to be in for the day. I don't consistently recite mantras to myself. It's just

0:34.2

not part of my routine. I have goals that I look at daily in my calendar and

0:38.9

things like that because it doesn't always feel natural to me to talk in the mirror, per se. So I found

0:45.6

a song, a song that perfectly summarizes the energy that I want to go into each day with.

0:51.4

In this episode, I'm going to share my mantra song and talk to you about how you

can find yours. Let's go. You're listening to the How to Be Awesome at Everything podcast,
