Pandora Junkie

Music motivates me, relaxes me, and at times in my, has actually paid the bills. I use music when I relax, workout, or drive to work. I even have a "cleaning CD" which has an embarrassing mix of hip-hop music that I just can't seem to get enough of. 

I recently discovered Pandora, which could quite possibly be the best invention of all time. It's my favorite app on my phone and I use it all the time. Here's how I use it, and hopefully you can find a way to incorporate it into your life too. The idea behind Pandora is that you can create channels of music that are custom made to you. For example, Wes and I created a "Maroon 5" channel we use when we are driving. If a song is on that we like, we click the thumbs up button. If there is a song that we don't like, thumbs down it is. Pandora learns to play what you like most. 

Here are my Top 5 Channels:

1) Quick Mix--all the best of today's music (Great for singing loudly in the car)

2) Heart Meditations Radio with Deepak Chopra--great for meditating, a relaxing soak in the tub, or giving birth to. 

3) Pop and Hip Hop Power Workout Radio--This is FANTASTIC for your jog or weightlifting session. 

4) Maroon 5 (Or your favorite band)--all your favorites without all the fillers 

5) Holiday--This was great at Christmas. It learned to filter out "This Christmas" and all the other radio songs that are overplayed in our area.
