Mariah ER 7
Chapter Summary: When we focus too much on trying to do something, we can often have the opposite effect of what we wanted to happen. We need to remember to have a balance between the roles of our mind and our body. If our mind gets too involved, things get tangled up and we end up more lost than before. If we stop drilling the goal into our heads and focus more on the process of getting there, we will enjoy practice more and reach our goal more easily. If we only had the goal in mind, we would be tempted to think "I'm glad that's finally over with" instead of being excited when achieved what we'd been working so hard for. When we let our mind stop working in overdrive, we can have more sensory awareness to aid in our progression.
Key Concepts: Over-thinking can be just as damaging as under-thinking. We need to enjoy the process as well as the result.
Key Terms: perceptual mode
Making Connections: I need to have more fun in the process of reaching my goals. I tend to over-think while singing instead of spending more time feeling what is happening.
