I've listened to talk radio for years. Recently I read a book from career expert Dan Miller where he talked about the morning being the rudder of the day. It made me think about the talk show hosts I spent my morning drive with. Now, instead of listening to snarky, cynical talk radio hosts and argumentative callers, I sutstitute their shows for podcasts of more positive content, uploaded from iTunes or various websites. Among my favorites are Focus on the Family and Key Life, with Scott Brown. I also get a chuckle from Garrison Keillor recounting the latest "News from Lake Wobegon." It's not hard to find these gems for free on the Internet. I just fill up my mp3 player and take it along in the car.
I can always catch the latest news later on, but I've found that, in the morning, when facing a challenging day of work, it's best to start with something inspirational, or to have a laugh at a lighthearted story. It gets me off to a great start!
