How To Be Happy

Ok I know the title of this blog post is a little big.  Really dude?  In 500 words you are going to tell us how to be happy?  Isn't that what millions of people have been trying to figure out for centuries?  Scholars have scholarred.  Poets have poetted.  And now you just finally cracked the code, huh?

Well, in so many words.  Yes.

Life is hard.  And not only is life hard, people are harder.  People have to become hard as stone to survive.  If we were all soft and sensitive, the human race would have been extinct years ago.  Life throws us a lot of curve balls.  People get hurt.  People get sick.  People die.  People get screwed over.  It happens everyday.  And in order to survive, these same people have to toughen up.  We learn from the pain that we need to be more careful next time.  We need to protect ourselves and our emotions, so we start building our emotional wall.  (To learn how to break through this wall, see my article called How To Break Through Your Emotional Wall).

The biggest thing we do to protect our emotions and to fortify our wall, is we become bitter.  We become very cynical of the people and the world around us.  In order to make sure we aren't hurt again, we make fun of everything before it can effect us.  We call Hallmark movies "cheesy."  We make fun of simple love songs and call them "lame."  Anyone trying to change us is obviously trying to sell something or they are "full of it."  No one is genuinely happy, right?  It's not possible.  If you are overweight, then that's just the way it is.  You can't lose weight.  If you are broke, then that's just the way it is.  You can't get out of debt.  And if you are unhappy, then that's life.  Life is hard and we are meant to be unhappy.  Aren't these the messages we hear everyday?  No wonder so many people are popping pills for depression.  We live in a bitter, cynical society that tells us nothing is possible.

Here's the thing.  These are all lies. 

People who are saying these statements are lying to you.  They may not know it, but they are.  They can't see the truth anymore through all the bitterness fog.  Cynicism has made them blind to joy.  There is only one cure for this disease of bitterness that is spreading through our society: 

We have to stop being cynical. 

That's it.  That is how to be happy.  Stop being cynical.  And here's why.  Once you turn off the cynicism, you give yourself permission to feel again.  You are telling yourself that it's okay to let go of the fear and to open up again.  You don't have to call Hallmark movies "cheesy" anymore.  It's okay to like love songs again.  You are giving yourself permission to embrace every guilty pleasure you have every experienced.  You are allowing yourself to believe again.

How amazing would that be?  You can stop your cynical cycle today and give yourself permission to feel again.  Let the emotion wash over you.  Feel it.  Sing it.  Love it.  The power you have inside of you is amazing and all it comes down to making a choice.  You can choose this everyday but you have to commit yourself to fighting the army of bitterness marching all around us.  It's everywhere.  Screaming at you and making fun of you.  But who cares what miserable people think anyway?  I choose to be happy.  I choose to feel.  I choose to believe.  I choose to not give into my cynicism anymore.  I'm free.  Finally.  Won't you join me?

How To Overcome Negativity: Six Steps

Negativity is like a leach.  It grabs a hold of you, never letting go, and continues to suck the life right out of you.  Once it gets a hold of you, it is really hard to shake it off.  We spend our time thinking "What is wrong with me?" instead of "I am a human being.  Life is hard.  How do I pull myself out of this?"  That's why it so important to have a plan in place to get you out of the negativity cycle.  When the dark thoughts come knocking, you will be prepared to knock back.  Here are six steps that I have found to be super useful in fighting off negativity.

1.  Do something about it.

I know this sounds obvious and overly simple, but so many times we think we are powerless to fight back.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  All you need is a plan.  There is something really empowering just knowing that you can take action and find peace and positivity again.  So as soon as the negativity starts to overtake you, ask yourself "What event or thought started this negative thinking?  What needs to change so I can start feeling better about myself and my life again?"  Once you have these answers, you can sit down and make a plan to change the thoughts or behaviors that need to change.  And here's the most important part of any plan:  action!  Once you have your plan, take action!

2.  Reprogram your thoughts.

Negativity is mostly brought on by our thoughts.  It is this simple: change your thoughts from negative to positive, and you are all set.  Sounds easy, right?  Of course, it is not that easy.  We are so programmed to focus on the negative.  I do this all the time.  I will play a show for people who are clapping and telling me they loved it.  I, however, will leave that night and focus only on the one note I messed up or how I forgot the words to a verse.  I have all but forgotten all the nice compliments I received.  We all do it.  But the good news is, we also have the power to change this.  So whenever you are focusing on a negative thought, remind yourself to change that thought to something positive.  You have to actually force yourself to do it.  Start thinking about all you have accomplished that day.  Or all the people who love you.  Whatever it is, the more you train yourself to make that switch, the faster it will start to happen on its own.  It takes time, but eventually, the positive thoughts will become your default.

3.  Share with a close friend.

You are never alone.  Sometimes just sharing what you are going through with a friend can totally lift the burden you are carrying.  It's amazing how often we think we can just fix our problems all by ourselves or we think we don't want to bother someone.  But that is exactly what we were created to do.  We were made to love and support each other, so don't hesitate.  Call a friend and let them help.

4.  Take care of yourself.

The first thing to go when we are feeling negative is nutrition.  We don't want to eat kale when we are depressed, we want to eat warm, cheesy pizza.  We want comfort food.  And although the occasional indulgence can be comforting, what our body really needs is the nutrients and phytochemicals to fight the negativity inside us and lift our mood.  If we focus on eating lots of green veggies and raw nuts and seeds, these foods can do wonders for our mood.  Drink lots of water and let your body reset.  It's also really important to get out and move.  Get the blood flowing.  Get some fresh air and sunlight.  I can't tell you how many bad days were instantly turned around by a 20 minute walk outside.  Finish it all off with a good 8 hours of sleep every night.  I know how hard it is to take good care of yourself when you are in a bad place, but we need to remember to love ourselves always.  Even on bad days.

5.  Clean your house

This one might seem a little random, but there is so much peace and joy that comes from cleaing up our surroundings.  Especially our house which is our nest.  It is our fortress of comfort.  And in order for it to be comfortable, it needs to be clean and functional.  Make sure you have good seating and a comfortable bed to sleep on (this is something I am personally working on right now).  There is also an overwhelming sense of accomplishment when you clean up something that was a mess.  It makes us feel like we are cleaning up the mess in our minds as well.  Everything is in its right place again.  Everything is right with the world again.  With a clean house, you can finally have a clean mind.

6.  Believe

Finally, none of this will work if you don't believe that it can.  You have to turn off your bitterness and believe that you can change your thoughts.  If you don't think change is possible, then negativity will settle in and take over.  But if you allow yourself to dream and believe that you are made to be happy, then you can take the steps necessary to make that dream a reality!  An amazing life of positivity awaits you.  The choice is yours.

The Fighter by Gym Class Heroes

Are you a fighter?  We all have one inside of us.  Sometimes it just takes the right song to bring it out.

SONGS THAT HELP BY SOUL MOTIVATION RECORDS

When I decided to start a company that does motivational music, I started researching other bands and artists that make that type of music.  Enter the Gym Class Heroes.  I was really surprised, but it turns out this band and Travie McCoy, in particular, has a lot of songs with the underlying message of overcoming the odds and reaching your potential.  I am like a lot of other people out there.  I just knew the one or two hits they had on the radio.  Who knew they had all this uplifting stuff to share with the world?  That is the kind of band that I want to hang out with.  I hope this lifts you up and reminds you of the fighter you have inside you.

Give 'em hell!

How To Break Through Your Emotional Wall

Remember when you were a kid and something made you sad and you had no problem telling the world about it?  It was now your duty to make sure the whole world knew just how sad you were.  You would throw a tantrum, looking out of the corner of your eye to make sure everyone was watching.  And if one person was not paying attention, then you would cry just a little bit louder.  Nothing else in the world mattered except making sure people knew that you were sad.  When did that change?  It's amazing how emotionally healthy we really are when we are kids.  When something hurts, you tell someone.  When you are sad, you feel the pain and cry until you feel better.  Only later in life do we learn to stifle our emotions.  In attempts to appear strong, confident or brave, we work really hard to make sure people think we never hurt.  The real effect of this is that we don't acknowledge the emotion to ourselves either.  If we allow ourselves to feel the emotion, we won't be able to contain ourselves and then the world will know we are weak.

What happened to our emotional health?

So many adults live in a quiet desperation.  Happy on the outside and miserable on the inside.  And then we see how happy everyone else is and think there is something wrong with us which makes us more miserable.  What do we do with all this misery?  We shove it down our throats into the depths of our soul and hope it never comes out to play again.  We bury it in a pile of sugar and cheese, we wash it down with beer and vodka, we try to suffocate it with cigarette and weed smoke, and if none of that does the trick, there is a whole pharmacy available to us with legal and illegal options to finish it all off.  We are so desperate to not have to face our inner emotions that we spend thousands of dollars trying to avoid it, even though it is just going to be there again tomorrow.  It is an insane cycle that many of us find ourselves stuck in.

How do we break through the emotional wall?

The problem is we all live in fear.  We are scared that if we face our emotions head on and break through that wall, all we will find on the other side is a life of sadness and misery.  A life where we can't function normally.  A life that is worse than the one we are living now.  We feel like if we tap into our sadness, we will never be able to turn it off again.  But this could not be further from the truth.

The answer is to be brave, stand up, take a deep breath and face those emotions head on.  Let yourself feel every bit of sadness.  Break down the wall and let yourself cry for as long as it takes.  Feel it.  Own it.  Let it in.  And eventually an amazing thing happens - you realize that this is the worst it can get.  The crying, the sadness; it doesn't get any worse.  And if it doesn't get any worse, then it can only get better.  And I promise you this...

IT WILL GET BETTER!

But only if you are willing to face these emotions once and for all.  To let go of the fear and go all in.  And remember, you are not alone.  Your friends, your family, and I am here to help you through the hard part.  We are so ready to grab a sledge hammer and help you break down that wall.  All you have to do is ask.  And I promise, if you do that, if you stand up, take a deep breath and start breaking down that wall, what awaits you on the other side is a life of total freedom.

Juicy by The Notorious B.I.G.

It's no secret that I love hip-hop.  And B.I.G. is one of my favorite rappers of all time.  Nobody did it like Biggie.  The lyrics.  The swagger.  He made being a big dude cool.  Love Biggie Smalls.  R.I.P.

SONGS THAT HELP BY SOUL MOTIVATION RECORDS

"Juicy" was Biggie's first big hit.  And there is a good reason for that.  People love to hear an inspiring story and Big had one.  This song tells of his dream to be a rap star and working hard to make it come true.  The epitome of the American dream.  Biggie's story, although becoming tragic in the end, is still proof that we can all go "from negative to positive."

When you are struggling and not sure if your dreams are going to come true, just turn on "Juicy" and believe again!

And if you don't know, now you know...

Chris Swan on Rock Paper Podcast!

Shane Presley is maybe one of the biggest music fans I know.  He does so much to support the local music scene in St. Louis.  The biggest way he does that is with his podcast "Rock Paper Podcast."  First of all, it's probably the best name for a podcast ever.  But secondly, it's a really entertaining and informative podcast if you are into music, comedy or just anything St. Louis.  Shane interviews all types of folk on the St. Louis scene and I had the honor to hang out with Shane and talk about playing in a band (Sky West Trio), making a living playing jazz, playing in piano bars and Soul Motivation Records.  It was a great hang.  You can check out the episode by clicking "Listen Now" below!

Can't Stop The Feeling by Justin Timberlake

I finally watched the movie Trolls last night.  What a great movie!  And the message in that movie is spot on.  We all deserve to be happy and we all have the power to be happy within us.  And sometimes we just need the right song to help bring it out!

This song always brings the happy out of me.  Especially after seeing the movie.  So if you haven't seen Trolls yet, do yourself a favor and watch it soon.  Then, put Justin on repeat, get up and be happy!

Don't try to stop the feeling because you can't.  I would follow those trolls anywhere!

The Formula For Success

The internet is full of liars.  Some are telling huge lies like "We can show you how to lose 60 pounds in just seven days!" or "Become the next marketing guru for only $19.95/mo!"  Some are telling little white lies like only showing the amazing photos from their last vacation on Facebook.  Where are the photos of when your car broke down or when little Timmy had a hissy fit at the Grand Canyon?  We all do it to some extent.  We have been telling lies since the beginning of time and surely we are not going to completely stop now.  After giving this some thought, however, I think there are two main motivations for telling lies on the internet:

1.  To make people like us
2.  To make money

The first one is a basic human need.  We need to be loved, desired and respected.  Instead of assuming people will just like us for how awesome we are, we start telling people what they want to hear.  We embellish the details of our stories to make people look up to us.  To make people say "Wow!  This guy is amazing!"  And if they think we are amazing, they will like us.  Right?  I have been guilty of this in the past.  But as I get older, I realize I really want people to like me because they know who I truly am.  They know my true feelings, my values, my victories and my failures and they choose to like me because of all those things.  The people I respect the most, are the ones that are the most transparent and even vulnerable at times.  When we see the humanity in others, that is when we truly connect.  So if you want people to like you, be genuine.  Be honest.  Be vulnerable.  I think the real word is be "authentic."  If you do this, they will follow you anywhere.

The second reason people tell lies on the internet is to make money.  Look, we all like money.  I didn't start Soul Motivation Records to lose money.  It's a business that I want to be financially successful.  There is nothing wrong with that.  The problem arises when we adopt the mentality of "I will do whatever it takes to make money."  That quickly turns into false promises and misleading advertising all in the name of a quick buck.  But what have you got after the money comes in?  You have a bunch of disappointed customers.  You have been part of the problem and not truly part of the solution.  And what is the point of that?  The way to be truly successful is to offer actual value.  No lies.  No empty promises.  Just deliver real value to people.  It's that simple.  If you want to make money, focus on helping people first and the money will come.  

Now, take these two lessons and add in "consistency" and you have the formula for success.  We can all be genuine when it feels good.  We can all occasionally deliver some value.  But the key is to do these things consistently.  Everyday.  Day after day.  Month after month.  Year after year.

Authenticity + Value + Consistency = SUCCESS

You do not have to be an internet liar.  Show the world who you truly are.  Show them what they can truly be.  And always show up in the first place.  I guarantee you will like the results!

Feels So Good by Chuck Mangione

Some of my favorite songs are instrumentals.  A song does not need words to move us.  And today's Song That Helps is a great example of that! 

SONGS THAT HELP BY SOUL MOTIVATION RECORDS

The title says it all.  Feels So Good just feels so good!  Happy.  Funky.  And beautiful.  There is a reason this song is a classic that still holds up.  It has such a great melody that you will be singing for the rest of the day.  You're welcome.

So hit play then sit back, close your eyes and picture your perfect day.  Feels so good doesn't it?

Treat Yo Self!

I have had the same pair of sandals since 1999.  My mom bought them for me when our family went on a cruise.  They were nothing fancy but they worked.  And they worked great for about eight years.  Then they broke.  I fired back with Gorilla Glue and kept them alive for another eight years!  After sixteen years, they had pretty much had it.  The soles were almost completely coming off.  Every time I took a step, the sole would not come along with me.  So I threw them out then, right?  Wrong.  I continued to wear these sandals every night until June 14th 2017.  You heard me right.  Eighteen years with the same sandals!  Two of those years with completely broken soles.  See, I believed that I couldn't afford new sandals.  I couldn't spring the $20 because it was not important enough.  But the real message I was sending myself was I AM NOT IMPORTANT ENOUGH!

Not good.

I've done this with so many things in my life over the years.  I would leave a light bulb that burned out in a lamp for months or years and just deal with the darkness.  I would let the bushes in my yard get way overgrown to where my patio had completely disappeared.  I would sit in broken chairs all day (the chair that I am sitting in right now is still broken.  It's on my list to fix).  All this in the name of being frugal?  What I think was really going on is I felt like I was not worthy of good things.  Man, that sounds messed up to say that out loud.  I don't know where or when that message was planted in my brain, but it's been there a long time.  And my feet have suffered enough!

It's important to be smart with money.  Make a budget, track your expenses, save money for purchases.  Yes do all of that first.  But then, for the love of God, spend some of that money!  Get yourself a pair of new sandals.  You are so worth it!  You are a creation of God.  You are a walking miracle!  Do you realize that?  You are a king (or queen) and you deserve nothing but the best.  If you are telling yourself anything short of that, you are lying to yourself.

I deserve good things.

My new sandals!

It feels great to say that out loud.  I am going to take better care of myself.  First things first, I got some brand new sandals!  They are so great and the soles stay in place!  I now have a list of all the other things in my house and in my life that I am going to fix.  I have another list of all the things I am going to buy.  One by one, I will do all the things on those lists because I deserve it.  Now, I have to go.  I have things to do and sandals to do them in. 

Finally.

So, Now What? Life After A Big Launch.

We did it!  We made it to launch day and we made it on time!  Everything got done.  Everything got released.  We are up and running!  What a crazy couple of months it was!  I don't think I have ever been that busy in my entire my life.  And you know what?  I loved every single minute of it.

Ok.  So.  Now what?

It's weird how you put so much into one day.  I'm guessing it is very similar to the feeling a newlywed couple has after their big wedding day.  They must think "That was a whole lot of work for one day.  For one party.  But now what do we do?  Where do we go from here?  Sure, we get a honeymoon but then what?  We have to get back to real life.  What is that going to be like?"

I for sure have been experiencing some of those same feelings over the past few days.  Launch day was amazing but honestly now is the fun part.  Now that the company is established and we have our first release of music out there, we get to build.   We get to find our people and grow our tribe.  We get to meet people who need to hear that they can change what they don't like about their lives.  We get to go out there and really share our message of hope.  Change lives.  This is what it's all about!

What To Do After A Big Launch

1.  Set new goals
2.  Make a new plan
3.  Get to work!

The day after the launch I slept.  A lot.  But then the next day, I got up and fine tuned my goals moving forward, especially for the next 3-6 months.  And then I created a plan of action to achieve those goals.  Just because you are heading towards a huge day, that doesn't mean life stops on the next one.  Set some goals, make a plan, and get onto the next phase!  And that is what we are doing now...

So what's up next for Soul Motivation Records?  We have lots in store.  Check out our recent What's Next blog post to see all that is coming up.  And be sure to sign up for the email list so we can keep you posted on all the haps.  Here's to the honeymoon and to the amazing journey that follows!

This is going to be fun.
