This kills your creativity.

Have you felt this?

Dread when singing in front of others? 😬

Like… the idea of it makes your heart drop, makes you break into a cold sweat and you possibly want to hide under the covers? 🙈

You long to enjoy it. You really want to look forward to it.

You convince yourself, it will be different this time and you stuff down those feelings only to have them resurface again and again.

You wish it was more fun! You desire to feel carefree! You need to experience more joy around the whole gosh darn process.

I TOTALLY GET IT.

I used to avoid telling people when I would have performances. 😂

I didn’t want anyone to know about them because I had a voice telling me ALL THE WAYS I wasn’t good enough.

And god forbid it didn’t go well because then people would know I didn’t know what I was doing. 🧐

I would hide it, I wouldn’t share until after the fact.

I did this because I was listening to that voice inside, the critical one, giving it a HUGE platform in my head to monopolize the conversation around everything.

Allow me to introduce you to your inner critic. 👹

That’s the voice in your head telling you about everything that’s wrong with you, how it’s not good enough, and how working harder and harder with more negative reinforcement is the only answer.

The only way for improvement.

It’s the voice that wakes you up in the middle of the night berating you for something you said.

For a perceived failure.

That’s THAT voice.

By giving all of my attention to this voice in my head, I was letting my inner critic kill my joy and love for performing and denying the joy from those who could receive it.

👉🏻 I was letting my inner critic kill my creativity, my passion, my love for the thing that made me ME.

So, you maybe wondering.... how do we bring back the joy??

By first identifying THAT inner critic voice we are closer to tuning into a better way of growing and improving so that our joy and our creativity stays at the forefront.

Our joy is not diminished in the process of self improvement and betterment.

You first learn to identify the inner critic, recognize when it has hijacked the conversation in your head and learn to tune into the quieter, wisest voice deep inside.

That’s the voice that has the answers we are seeking.

That’s the voice that wants you to enjoy the experience of singing in front of others.

That’s the voice we need to be lead by.

In the meantime, to get a better handle on that inner critic: try setting 3 alarms spread out throughout your day and when they go off, close your eyes and take some deep breaths. These will be 3 opportunities to remind you to stop what you’re doing, silence the mental chatter and reconnect to your body.

Let me know how that goes! I’d love to hear from you!
