8 Ways To BOOST Your Energy Before Making Music 

"Make pressure free art", this one really struck me cause I've been dealing with unsatisfaction regarding my music and other creative processes, and now I realise it's because as you said I was too focused on what a beat is supposed to sound like, how it is supposed to be structured, etc.. and it got in the way of my creativity. So thank you for these tips curtiss, will definitely apply some of them much love and support from switzerland ! Ps : when I start second guessing myself my fav thing to do is go out for a quick walk and have the freshest, most boosting beverage I can find myself when i get back (which is often water and ice yo, stay hydrated)

I like to smoke weed before I make beats, I know probably not the best energizer, but I like the way it makes the music feel. Really liked this video had a ton of great ideas! Ive been reading on how body language and posture effect mood! And I always wondered why but when I make beats I HAVE to be wearing some of my flashiest clothes.

*walks away from computer to get a glass of water and a sweet fruit*

To be honest, what i do to get ready to make a beat or to get inspiration is to watch a Busy Works Beats or Curtis King tutorial and once i see them get in the groove and hear a fire beat i cant wait to start messing around and making beats

The quality of this content, the video work, the advice, the energy, is just so authentic. I pray that your family will be blessed and I know that you already are. Please keep doing you, my friend. I want you meet you one day and thank you for being you. Stay up!

I chill on the porch and either listen to audio books or motivational speeches. Also try to visualize already accomplishing something before i even start it.

Might sound even more crazy but to have these colours and and around you effetcs your shakra. Thats what shakra therapy is all about. People start to balance the colours in their house ans especially in their bedroom cause thats where your re energise and its incredible what this can do to your overall feeling about life

Best guy on RU-vid hands down no caps

I go on long drives to write. I can blast the music as loud as I want and feel everything in the music.

Really great tips. I would add to list: - Cold Shower - Meditation and Yoga

Curtis you been getting the topics that I've been struggling with I came from Busy I love what you guys are doing keep it up! much love from Puerto Rico

I’m surprised you didn’t mention sleep and sleep management. Simply smiling helps too! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

LOVE THESE VIDEOS. Keep going man! God bless.

The things that get me in the mood is listening to some R&B music. Gets me straight in the mood to make some smooth beats.

Exactly this - the only thing I can add is Cluttered Spaces are depressing. Get rid of the old physical baggage and the clutter. 10 minutes every morning to put things away, sweep up the floor, wash up the dishes, take out the trash and make your space uncluttered. Then you don't have it hanging over your head all day bugging you and it frees you up to do the things that feed you. I started looking at my non-music responsibilities as part of my purpose instead of a burden. Open the curtains, even the windows if you can. Also - community - interacting with people on your channel has made a HUGE difference in my personal well-being. But just these 8 things, if you do them seriously, will change your life. Peace to you, my friend!

Great vid bro! That "shuffle music" step is a major key. I personally listen to a lot of jazz to relax and refuel. It's not only an energy booster, but it opens up the creativity well like no other; especially if you're going through a creative block. All the melodies are in Jazz producer friends 🎶🎶

I use my thoughts as power to give myself power and energy as well. Change my way of thinking has progressed my way of living.

I appreciate the fact hat you are not only trainimg music production but you are also, helping to inhance ones energy mental and creative force, didnt i name spirituality on top, to make us great producer, You are a king ! my brother.

Bro this video is so clutch. Cannot literally describe how important the gems are in this vid

You're such a motivation curtiss!

WHAT INSPIRED ME IS TO SEE YOUR VIDEOS, YOUR ADVICES AND ALSO LISTEN TO OTHER PEOPLE MUSIC

4:10 "make sure nobody around cause they ain't gone understand this" 😂😂✊✊💯💯🎶 🎶 👌✌🔥🔥

I love that you address topics that are essential to music production and overall being as a producer. thank you

Thanks Curtiss, since I’ve been watching your channel I’ve really been inspired by the videos you make ,they have changed my life and production styles and the way I look at music

I 100 percent needed this today. My energy for music has been super low lately. Im ready to try all of these out. Thanks Curtiss

Prayer and affirmations are my go to. Now I will add all of this in my daily routine with what I already do. I want to take the 30 day BLAP challenge and kill it. Amazing info man! I'm extremely grateful there people like Curtiss King and !llmind. If you believe in the "Law of Attraction" (Please Google this if you don't) you attract what you put out to the Universe. Good or Bad. Tony Robbins' books are an excellent place to start to change your whole life. The Secret and Think And Grow Rich are awesome books that help you gain awareness of your energy. There's even a reason why you even read this comment. Awesome energy, attracts, awesome people that will be willing to buy your, awesome music. And Curtiss, you're doing an awesome job. Thank You!!!

Great list! I sometimes go on long bike rides just to get away. I live in a somewhat small town called Endicott in NY. I just hop on my bike, plug in my headphones with my playlist named "xxMax Volum3xx" on, and ride till I find myself on the country roads where there's no sidewalks and the houses are like a few hundred feet to a few acres apart. I usually have no destination. I just take random roads trying to see something new and sometimes I get a lucky view and see some landscapes like ones I'd see in a calendar or desktop background. Then I'd stop the playlist and just listen to nature and take it all in (pause)..

Try making a music outside. I like doing that. Great point about nutrition. These are great things to do before making music.

The staying inside, slouching, and anti social thing is definitely me. I'm highly introverted by nature so its easy for me to cut the world off, but I had to come back to the realization that the world is where we get music from. Peace bro

I like to dance to old school R&B and Funk music. Also smiling in the mirror and doing funny things with my children. That always pumps me up.

You keep dropping gem after gem. God bless

Thank you for all the advice !

For me personally when i drink an energy drink. I know they arent good for you but when i drink one i get so focused on the mission for some reason and get so productive. Might go cop one of them bitches rn

Perfect timing Curtis 👊, been looking for this

listen to inspiring people while you workout, or just walk like you said. might seem corny but it works to boost your attitude which in turn boosts energy

this is my favorite video ever. you the Tony Robbins of music production

💯💯 I’m been working on this. This video definitely shows me I’m going the right direction!

Hey bro thanks allot for all you are doing for the small musicians out here. When i get big like you im definitely going to shout you out ! Thanks for doing this

Really enjoy your videos and points of view, thanks for the advice

I watched a video once of a female techno producer who specifically used a blow up exercise ball to sit on while producing her music. She explained the benefits and one of them is that using it is a good way to judge your rhythm in your track and how a beat makes you move because of the bounce effect and she also said it's way better for your hips than sitting in a stationary chair as they are constantly engaged in movement. I have tried this method personally and have found it also helps keep you at a higher energy and in better posture through the whole process and doing some quick stretching on it before planting on it really helps boost the energy too. Hope you try out this technique, its really helped keep my mind optimal during producing and the exercise balls are not an expensive investment. They also do sell ones on wheels with a back support and removable ball that are a bit more pricey. Hope this helps & keep up the good work!

preach fam

Curtiss I love the advice you’re giving out to the culture my man! Keep it up. I got most respect for you!

i did all of these tips and my life changed from bullshit to what i wanted life to be thank you curtis king ;)

Love your videos man I've found in the past I'll get all inspired at work and when I finally get back to the studio I'm burnt out. To avoid this I avoid getting to pumped up.

Thank You For Advice , I'm Coming Out the Bronx as A Rapper and you're answering all my questions I asked myself

Dont wear the colours 69 has in his hair... im dead lmaooo

Thanks!

Worth a shot.

When DJ Premier comes with a new beat i get a boost from that always👍👍👍👍

What up Curtiss. My boi introduced me to your videos. Now I can't wait to watch a new one. I just got back to music, about 6 months back now so I really find your videos useful. I have found that if you have something you like around your workstation helps. For example, if you like anime, have anime pic or something on or near you. Also, Having a clean workstation works too.

that was some great advice Curtiss thanks.you just put me in a really good mood plus you funny to. my suggestion i would say is 1 of your tips you gave and that"s play some LOUD music and pump pump your chest.thats what i do and it works.
