I’ve seen The Rolling Stones live. It isn’t a concert, it’s an event–like watching the history of rock and roll unfold right before your eyes. I’ve seen Mick Jagger’s moves, but only the on-stage kind. So when I first heard Maroon 5′s Moves Like Jagger, I was really puzzled, because I was wondering how Mick’s dancing moves were going to help the guy in the song get the girl. Then I GOT IT. Really. GOT. IT. It’s all about the way Mick Jagger can walk into a room and OWN IT. That’s very powerful stuff. Mick’s got swagger, Adam Levine is channeling it, and Christina can’t resist it. While I can’t condone anyone being anything other than their most authentic self anytime (especially in the pursuit of romance), there’s something to be said for noticing who and what you’re drawn to, and then putting your own spin on it. If you find yourself wanting moves like Jagger, or a gypsy soul like Stevie Nicks (because really, who doesn’t want to twirl around in a flowy skirt?), or a hard-core A.B.A.-attitude like Kid Rock, you can have it without ever getting a record deal of your own. Here’s how. Ask yourself these questions:
1) What performer(s) are you drawn to?
2) What qualities do you admire about him/her?
3) How does it make you FEEL?
4) How can you incorporate more {insert FEELINGS here} into your life?
5) Start doing those things RIGHT NOW.
Try it out, then call me up this Thursday, December 1 at 10 AM Pacific/12 PM Central/1 PM Eastern and tell me all about it. Details here.
