Singing is great!

Well, the one thing I like to do and was blessed with, was a good voice. I can speak easily and love to sing. Many people believe they cannot carry a tune and immediately hum under their breath. But, in their minds they sound like some super stars. Me too! but, if I try to sing rock and roll songs, I sound like a wailing cat. So, I think!

The mind is a tape recorder and everything you have heard is available for you to re-listen to. Voices you have heard, such as teachers, parents and friends are constantly running through your mind, so why not the wonderful voices of the many famous singers that you love. So why don't you sing?

Well, it is your conscious mind that says you cannot sing, or if you do, that someone is listening and will criticize you and put you down. So, where did you learn to be such a judge of character and understanding of other's points of view on how well you do in fact sing and are heard? Bottom line is no one is interested in you that much! It was your own idea and you have caused yourself to believe what you repeat to yourself over and over again. Self-hypnosis is the one comfort you are use to.

Yet, it is not a comfort if you critique yourself over and over again. Instead, you become miserable and lost. So the trick is to re-hypnotise yourself to sing and talk aloud. Speak to yourself in front of the mirror and see what others see. Record yourself singing and hear what others hear. If you do not like what you hear, then practice until you do.

We are all born with the same chances and the same talents. So, all we have to do is to stop competing with others and just enjoy discovering ourselves day by day. In my family, I was encouraged to sing, but that did not make me a good singer. What did, was taking classes, practicing and enjoying my choice of song that suited my voice.

You too can sing with practice. Find a good teacher and go for it. The only one you can offend with your voice is you. Anyone else will envy you that you have learned to carry a tune. Those who love to listen will encourage you to sing more.

Singing is a healing tool. the more you sing, the more you heal yourself by transforming you energy into a positive vibration that allows all your cells in your body to rejuvenate. Sing and feel younger, happier and life will become fulfilling. No one said you have to be famous. Just sing to please yourself.
