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.
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!
