Oh, what a pertinent reminder - it is A Practice, isn't it. Such a great way of being, to constantly choose - "If we choose a different path, we come to recognize that with support, we can love ourselves enough to do the work of improving while fully conscious of the distance between our goal and current ability. We stay committed not by putting our heads down and working harder, but by looking up and seeing the smiling faces"
Yes! It's a practice that will keep us on the path. We can spend less and less time abandoning ourselves and our creative dreams and more time bringing them to life.
It took until this year for me to realize that auditing my own singing voice in real time while I was singing for people, was not the way to improve my singing voice
"ooh you could have hit that better"
"what kind of tone was that"
"a hair flat there"
Just examples of some of the things myself told myself mid song.
Now I just picture my dearly departed dog (and familiar) as I perform and try to clear my head otherwise. The notes come so much easier and I also don't hate myself or my voice.
