Running With Music.


I plugged in my new bright red JVC ear piece, which I never regretted buying it for ten dollars, into my ears. As I bend as low as I could to reach for my toes- to have my calf stretched, I was, at the same time, having short visuals of how the speed of my run going to start like. It was either going to be a fast or a slow start. Much depending on my mood of the day.

Like just now, I had a fast start. I was having too much tensions for what had happened earlier in the day. But after a few hundred metres of running, the pace had to reduce tremendously after I realized that, my breathing could not keep up with the speed that I had started with, mainly because; I had not been running consistently for the past two days and had couple of beers and countless sticks of cigarettes over the holidays.

As usual, I would listen to my favourite songs times and times over again, that had relations to my emotions and construals for that moment. I would not only listen, but imagine as well that I was that one that performing the played songs. I would imagine that I was performing and at the same time, dedicating the song to the person that the song was meant for. The fact that I am not an expressive person or good at expressing myself, dedicating songs is an alternative way for me to express myself well.

You see guys, music is everything. Music could be an expression of one's feelings, emotions, thoughts- you named it. To me, the best music is the kind of music that could heal one's soul. On top of that, it would also create a form of motivation for one to get over his problems through indulging in listening the song. If you were to ask me - "What's My Favourite Motivational Song?"- if someone had pissed me off, it would be Fighter by Christina Aguilera.

Six years ago, I had been betrayed by a person that I adored so much thus it had made me determined to lose weight as to have a nice figure. That was when I decided to pick up running as an hobby. (Read my article: Vanity on Oneself Does Tell A Story.)

So there I was to be seen circling around the 1 km running track, outskirts of the tennis court, swimming pool and the mini-gym. I would usually run 6-7 km, depending how satisfied I was in my running. One thing for sure; my mood would change after I had completed the run.

I guess running would really help one, take me for an example, to distress and would create a form of motivation- to strive for success, through listening of music. I would never run without my Mp3 player. First of all, I would not receive any inspiration in the run and importantly, it would demotivate me because I could listen to my own breathing which subsequently, would affect my running psychologically.

I would recommend you overweight people to try out the technique of Receiving Motivation Through Listening of Music While Running, if you guys are determined to lose weight. It had worked for me well and till this day, I would not slacken down in my running.

Remember 1 thing:

Always maintain a consistent breathing as not collapsed out of sudden. As much as you are heavy indulged in listening to your music, take note of your safety. Know your limit. Never let your emotions to be carried away so much that you have gone beyond what you could. Not Worth It At All.
