don't think - just do!

Beyond confidence, a common mistake that I fall into is over-thinking. Over-thinking leads to second-guessing which leads to, you guessed it: lack of confidence. And the cycle continues. Do you love to sing? Do you feel drawn to this beautiful form of expression? Then do it. The knowledge that we are all one, that no one is better or worse than any other, that we are innately connected, can help with this "just do it" mentality. Ask my mother, I am the QUEEN of over-analyzing situations. I have scared myself out of singing many times, doubting myself. But what good does that do? That only leads to regret, to self-resent, and to jealousy. Because we are all one, these things don't really exist, they are merely constructs of the mind.

So, just do it! Sing! Sing to yourself, all day long. Sing in the shower. Sing when you wake up. Sing in your car. Sing when you walk. Dance while listening to music. Feel what you hear, feel what you sing, be what you sing, be what you feel. Don't allow yourself that time to think - that is perpetuates further fear, unnecessary fear. So, sing! Create, love, be. Don't be afraid of perception or judgment. We are all one! Rise above the confines of your mind that you've created. If you feel compelled to sing, you are a singer. If you feel inspired by voice, you are a singer. You are who you choose to be. Choose to sing, and just do it.
