In this blog, we’re going to lead straight off from the last segment and we’re going to be talking about “75% of Singing is in the Mind” – yes, this is true.
If you keep on telling yourself that you can’t do this or you can’t do that or you can’t sing this, it’s going to be true, if you keep on putting yourself down or saying negative things. When you program your mind and say “I can’t do this” you will end up quitting what ever you are pursuing.
I am going to give you an example to tell you how powerful the mind is. I am sure that you’ve been in a light sleep and you’ve been dreaming and you may have been dreaming some sort of action, like for instance running, kicking, jogging, pushing, doing some sort of action and you felt your body do that action whatever it may be whilst you’re dreaming it; that’s how powerful your mind is, your mind is controlling your body in that dream there.
So to train your mind is very important and to train it to be positive is very important as well, especially being a singer. Being a guitarist or a drummer, you can always play the guitar with your fingers or hands whatever it may be but with singing, it’s a little bit different. It’s a very personal instrument because it’s actually part of your body. So, a lot of singers take their singing very personally and so you have to train your mind to be positive and if you made a mistake or you haven’t had a great gig –that’s fine! The next one is going to be better and practice to improve those points and that need improvement.
Stay positive, say positive affirmations like “I am a great singer”, say that you’re a singer firstly if you’re starting off and you just starting to learn singing or you are a want-to-be singer, say first and foremost “I am a Singer” and say “I am going to be a better singer” or “I will improve my singing” but keep it positive.
I’ve got a couple of words that are not allowed to be used in my classes and personal life.
• “Can’t” – is the very first one. We never ever use this word in my singing lessons. I’ll replace can’t by “I am having difficulty” or “I will try” but we never say can’t!!!!
• “Never” – we never ever use the word “never” in my classes. “I can never get this”, “I can never do that”, “I’m never going to be able to do this” – NO, it’s never used! instead use “Yes, i will be able to do it, we’re going to practice it, yes it will happen if you work harder enough”. So, just keep on programming your mind of these positive thoughts and affirmations and it will happen.
Write your goals down and look at them. Look at them every day and before going to bed, say “I am going to do this” or “I am going to be this” or “I am going to improve this part of my voice or life”.
Training your mind is very important and there are a lot of audio books/ books and fantastic motivational speakers and people out there – they were all practicing the same thing. Train your mind to be positive at all times.
Controlling your thoughts, it’s also very important to control your thoughts because you have a choice, you have a control over that. If you are in a bad mood, you don’t need to be. You don’t need to argue with this person or you don’t need to be in a bad mood. You don’t need to feel anxiety, sadness, or stress – turn it off or drop it! Just like a tissue, pick it up out of the box and drop that feeling… that’s your choice.
We’re going a little deep here for singing but very importantly try to train the mind because there are some negative aspects of singing like you’re not sounding great or you’re sick or the crowd didn’t react to your songs the way that you would like.
A couple of my favorite motivational speakers and self-help authors are the actor Will Smith, who is absolutely fantastic, Napoleon Hill, Dr Wayne Dyer, Eckart Tolle and Esther and Jerry Hicks.
You must practice being positive and put this into place in every single day. This is not easy but if you keep on persisting your outlook on life will be a lot brighter.
I hope that this is sincerely help you out.
