Is it necessary to have some sort of inspiration in the
workplace? The answer is a big YES. People perform
at their highest level
when they are inspired
and motivated. Plus,
employees working in an
inspiring environment
are likely to come up with
new and very creative
ideas. So as an employer or even a department
manager, you would want to invest your time in
giving your staff some rewards or motivational
words just to keep them stimulated, challenged, and
focused on their work.
What can be noticed in the current workplaces is that
they are designed in a way that space can be used
efficiently, rather than to make the environment
inspiring for the employees. While there are many
advantages to using cubicles in offices, especially to
save space, this setup does not really foster creativity
as employees are likely to feel isolated. As a result, it
is not easy to encourage employees to perform more
than how they are expected to perform.
One way that a company can provide their workers
with a more inspiring workplace is by fostering a
positive social climate in the office. Here, employees
are given feedback on a regular basis, plus, good
performance is rewarded and recognized. It is also
important for employees to be given some level of
freedom within their work so that they will be
encouraged to show initiative.
It would also be a huge help if employees are given
their exact roles that are challenging yet exciting.
They should also be provided with the important and
useful training and tools to help them develop their
potential even more. The management should also
set a good example of communicating with their
people in a respectful and honest manner. If possible,
letting the workers listen to an inspirational song
every once in a while could also make a difference in
their mood.
If all these things are realized and taken into
consideration by the management, there will
certainly be a lot of happy and satisfied employees in
the company. And when these employees are
inspired, most of the common problems in the human
resource department will disappear.
What employers and managers need to understand is
that the success of a company relies on their people
and how their workers treat one another. By
knowing what your personnel need and giving it to
them, you are effectively motivating them to do
better. Remember also that money is not the only
source of motivation for your workers. Simple things
like motivational words or inspirational music
would work. What’s important is for them to feel
your sincerity in trying to address their needs as your
worker.
How we do things is often
affected by our moods. That’s
why it is vital that you be in
the proper mindset, emotion,
or mood when you do
important things, like your
job. Imagine that you need to
work on a design; you would want to get into a
melody or a groove of your emotion during that time

so that you may easily use these emotions to produce
a design. There is no doubt that music helps people
express things in a much better way. Aside from the
inspiring words it contains, music has the ability to
make us reveal how we feel. With all of these said, it
is easy to understand why listening to music is
considered an effective way of motivating people to
work efficiently.
How to Use Music Effectively
1. Choose the right music genre. You have to pick the
music that will put you in the right mood. If you need
to come up with a hip-hop design, for instance, you
wouldn’t think ballad music will help, would you?
The kind of music you listen to should match the
theme of the design you are working on. Remember,
music will be reflected in the way you create your
design.
2. Let your body move to the music. This doesn’t
mean you can just tap your feet and bop your head.
You need to get into the rhythm of the song you are
listening to. Plus, it is important also that you do
something relevant to your task. In making a design,
for instance, you can move your hand and make a
sketch according to te rhythm of the music you are
tuned into. You will be surprised to see that you have
actually finished the design already faster that you
thought you could.
3. Keep your energy high. As you may know, listening
to the same music genre repeatedly will only make
you bored. And so, you would want to gather as many
songs as you can and then just shuffle with some slow
and cool jams. You also do not need to listen to the
same sequence of songs during the entire time you
are listening to the playlist while you are working.
You can be creative enough to mix several songs
coming from many different genres.
In short, the kind of music you should listen to must
be compatible with what you are trying to achieve.
Songs are very important, not just because of the
inspiring words they contain, but because of the
energy they produce, which could give motivation
and inspiration to those listening to them.
For whatever good and great that you are hoping to
do, you need to have one
thing – inspiration. An
inspiration is some sort of
energy that can help you
achieve your goals and be
successful in your
endeavors. And when you
lack inspiration, you would
feel like everything is hard and boring, and as if there
was no way you could enjoy what you are doing.
Inspiration and Your Mind
What makes inspiration so important is that it helps
keep your mind focused and positive. Although we
try to stay in control of everything that’s going on in
our minds, the truth is that there are just so many
negative thoughts we can hardly control, and they
serve as a huge block to our own self growth. This
goes to show how vulnerable our mind is to doubts
and vacillation. However, by having external sources
of inspiration, you are actually helping your mind
overcome all the negativity it’s encountering.
You inspiration doesn’t always have to be another
individual. As a matter of fact, it could be anything
under the sun! Even music and motivational songs
can be used to inspire people to do good and bring
goodness into the world. Your inspiration can be
anything or anyone who can influence your mind to
think straight and to go the right direction.
Keeping Yourself Inspired
Since the mind can become bored very easily, it is
important that you replenish or change your source
of inspiration. You can do this by being around
people who have positive attitude and mindset. If you

feel like you’re already losing your inspiration, try to
be with someone who you know is very inspired. By
seeing what he or she does and how they keep
themselves inspired, your mind will have the urge
again to do what’s good.
Another way of becoming inspired once again is
reading. Whenever you read, you are allowing that
certain information to directly access your mind. As a
result, your mind will have some kind of reaction to
what you are reading, and this could either be
positive or negative. It would help a great deal if you
start reading inspirational stories or stories of those
people who have been able to surpass all the
challenges in their lives.
You can even do as simple as listen to an inspirational
song or piece of music. It doesn’t matter what kind of
music it is, just as long as it has that positive effect in
your mind that can urge you to take action for you to
achieve your goals in life.
Motivational songs have so many positive effects to
the human brain, spirit
and body. As a matter of
fact, these songs are
beneficial to kids as well.
Listening to songs with
inspirational lyrics can
give you your much
needed motivations and “pick me up feeling”
especially during those days that you are not in the
mood to work. This type of music can bring you to
your feet and do exactly what you have to do. As for
kids, an inspirational song can teach them very
important and useful life lessons that they can use as
they grow up.
A particular song can be considered motivational if it
contains very inspiring and positive messages. For
instance, there are songs with lyrics that go “You will
get there if you want”. These words would suggest
concepts of hard work and belief in oneself. There are
some songs with more of an upbeat rhythm which
can definitely open up your mind and inspire you to
move. The rhythm and the lyrics of a song are what
can make the song inspirational.
One thing that you will also like about motivational
songs and music is that you can find them in all
genres and types of music. There are a number of
artists also that produce such kinds of songs. But
with all these choices, it could help a lot if you just
find a few that you will listen to from time to time.
This way, your mind will be accustomed to what such
piece of music means to you. However, it is only
natural for us to get so used to something that we
may also feel fed up with it. If this is how you will feel
eventually, then that will be the time you have to
consider choosing another inspirational song.
For parents who want to expose their kids to the kind
of media that will help them raise their kids properly,
getting a couple of motivational songs for kids will be
quite useful. There are many songs for kids that
contain child-friendly lyrics that teach them some
very important lessons in life. Remember that young
kids have very sharp memories. So you would want
them to have only the positive and good messages in
their minds.
Finally, you can listen to songs with inspirational
lyrics while you are working as well. You may choose
the type of music without any lyrics, as these are
proven to be more effective in helping a person
concentrate and focus. This is a very inexpensive
motivational tool that promises excellent results as
well.
