Taylee. Summary: We often complicate things by "making mountains out of mole hills." The body is an amazing thing and we often think we need to direct it in every. single. step. We know a lot more than we give ourselves credit for!! We can't possibly be conscious of everything we are doing at all times, it would be overwhelming. Take breathing for example; the minute you tried to think about breathing, it became unnatural and choppy as compared to the smooth flowing sensation you had before you "needed" to think about it.
Key Concepts: Focusing too heavily on the problem disrupts our ability to see more of the solution. "When [the] mind gets overly bossy, [we] miss the perception of [our] senses." pg. 80.
Key Terms: Destination. Trust.
Making Connections: I am naturally an emotional person. But for whatever reason, I seem to think I need to learn the notes, pitches, rythms of my piece first and then create emotion later. Most of the time when I pick pieces I would like to sing, I usually pick songs that I can easily find an emotion in. I need to stop over analyzing my pieces and allow my natural senses to kick in.
