BlessUP “NEW DAY ” Friday, business soul friends!

I’m Luke Skywalkin’ on these haters (splish) 
Celebrate every day like a birthday 🎂

-Miguel

Life is so much fun. Skywalkin’ and Flipping out, to me, every day is a new day. Even my birthday. At least that is how my mind is thinking and I am rolling ahead with!  No need to wait until 1x a year to remember when you showed up on our blessed planet. Remember daily. Heck, remember with me right now. Take a deep breath and know that you are wonderfully made and destined to be right where you are, right now. Celebrate YOU. With gratitude, honor your life and tap into your greatness. Gratified, never satisfied. Treat every day as if it were your birthday.

Oh, and don’t forget to make it beautiful. And when I say it, I mean your life. Make your blessed existence beautiful. Of course, you can do like Sir JP teaches us and start with your ROOM 👇

Speaking of beauty, music is such a glamourous piece of our human experience, including helping you renew your beautiful business mind.  A well-known and documented scientific fact…

Music is POWERFUL!

And positive words driven by a divine beat…

RENEWS. TRANSCENDS… even, TRANSFORMS.

Uplifting music with a positive message can be the energy of your business soul, to help you stay lit and on the right track. Plus, edifying music has documented transforming mental and health benefits. Sir Will.i.am knows such a musical law to be true. He is not only one of my favorite music artists but also, one of my favorite tech ‘out of this world’ visionaries, especially with Ai!

Moreover, the renew song in the following clip he performed at one of my favorite places, Michael Bernard Beckwith Spiritual Center, which I visited one summer in Beverly Hills California.  Take a break with me, and ‘chill out’ by listening to this uplifting song and ‘BE OPEN TO EXPERIENCE‘ the energy of your business soul, to see and begin every day as a NEW DAY, even as your birthday. 🙏👇

Until I SEE YOU again,

BlessUP! 🙏

Documentation beats conversation…

• Have you ever felt chills down your spine while listening to music? According to a study by Nusbaum and Silvia (2010), over 90% of us have. How powerful the effects of music, though, depends on your personality. People who are high in one of the five personality dimensions called ‘openness to experience’, are likely to feel the most chills while listening to music (Nusbaum and Silvia, “Shivers and Timbres Personality and the Experience of Chills From Music,” Social Psychology & Personality Science, 2010).
• A Stanford study shows that music engages areas of the brain which are involved with paying attention, making predictions and updating events in our memory (Baker, Mitzi. “Music moves brain to pay attention, Stanford study finds.” Stanford Medicine. Accessed February 24, 2015).
• Both music and language are complex communication systems, in which basic components are combined into high-order structures in accordance with rules.  Whether music was an evolutionary precursor to language or merely a byproduct of cognitive faculties that developed to support language, music is pervavise across human cultures and throughout history (Nina Kraus, Jessica Slater, “Music and language: relations and disconnections,” The Human Auditory System: Fundamental Organization and Clinical Disorders, Vol. 29, 3rd Series, 2015).
• A review of 23 studies covering almost 1,500 patients found that listening to music reduced heart rate, blood pressure and anxiety in heart disease patients (Bradt & Dileo, “Music for stress and anxiety reduction in coronary heart disease patients,” PubMed.Gov, 2009).
• One study found that listening to music after a workout can help the body recover faster. While slow music produced a greater relaxation effect post-exercise, it seems that any kind of music can help the physical recovery process (Scott Christ, “20 surprising, science-backed health benefits of music,” USA Today, December 17, 2013).
• Studies show that music can trigger the brain to release chemicals that distract the body from pain. When music reaches the brain’s auditory cortex, there’s communication between the cortex and the brain’s areas that control emotion, memory, and motor control (Abbie Fenress Swanson, “Music helps vets control symptoms of PTSD,” Time, March 8, 2010).

• Soldiers of the 1700s were required to function almost as automatons, to obey, smoothly and in formation, whatever commands were given by their superiors. With clouds of gunsmoke added to the din of combat, oral commands or personal example were not always reliable means of giving direction to an army. An order that was not heard — or worse, not understood — could be as dangerous as the enemy. Musically transmitted signals, however, could be heard above the crash of gunfire. The voice of the trumpet and the cadence of the drums were clear and unambiguous, making them vital to command and control (HistoryNet Staff, “The Music of War,” History.net, June 6, 2012).
• Scientists have found that the emotions patients experience while listening to music have a healthy effect on blood vessel function. Music both made study participants feel happier and resulted in increased blood flow in their blood vessels (Scott Christ, “20 surprising, science-backed health benefits of music,” USA Today, December 17, 2013
