The other morning I was in WaWa getting coffee and everyone seemed to be in a great mood. (If you don't live near a WaWa envision Dunkin Doughnuts, 7-11 or maybe even Starbucks) It seems that coffee brewing at home has lost it's favor or flavor :) Most mornings I don't see this elevated mood in WaWa. So either they used extra caffiene or it was the vibe!
There was a great song on - one of those infectious dance songs. (I can't remember the name right now - uggghhhhhh) Everyone was smiling, several people were singing. If you weren't singing you were unconsciously bopping a part of your body to the beat. It was making everyone contagiously happy. If the cameras were rolling WaWa would have had a fabulous commercial. I enjoyed the emotional high so much that I thought Wow wouldn't it be great if we could create this atmosphere in my office.
Then I found that this article http://www.everydayhealth.com/alternative-health/mind-body-connection/tips/how-to-life-your-spirits-with-music.aspx?xid=nl_EverydayHealthEmotionalHealth_20080927 that backed up my unscientific study and thought okay this isn't as silly as it sounds :) I have asked each of my agents for their two favorite songs. One that gets their blood pumping and one that sends them into a relaxed state. So far the response is great. These songs will encompass our new playlist at my office.
You are more than welcome to use this idea in your office but you have to promise to post the most infectious songs. And the experiment begins :) Fun, fun, fun :) :) :)
