With large parts of the world locked-down and social distancing rules in place, it is easy to fall into a slump and just flow with the general gloominess.

But let me tell you, the world likely won’t end that soon, and even humanity probably will survive the Coronavirus. Freaking out about something that is entirely beyond your control is neither healthy nor helpful. It’s much more productive to focus your energy on something you can actually do.

I suggest that instead of just pressing F5 on the Worldometer Coronavirus Live Update, you get your butt off the couch and get your blood pumping with a proper “prison-style” home workout. And afterward, do an online course, clean-up your clutter, call family and friends, or practice a musical instrument. Just do something!

As I believe in the power of music, I thought I’d share my “Life-Sparring Fight Music” playlist with you. Two hours of tracks with the sole purpose to push you to your limit that has served me well over the past few years, every time I needed a bit of a kick in my behind.

If you have Spotify, just play the embedded playlist or click on this link. For non-Spotifiers, I recreated the list on YouTube. The YouTube version also includes a few songs that I could not find on Spotify when I migrated from my mp3 collection to the cloud.

Enjoy, and stay strong, healthy, and motivated! And of course, feel free to share your own motivational playlist.
