🌈 Explore Mindset
🌈 Often we begin a practice session with a goal in mind. Goals are good - they keep us focused and on task. Goals help us to grow. But what about when goals interfere with creativity and spontaneity? If we already have an idea of what “should” happen or how we “should” sound/feel, we can get fixed and rigid. And if our ideas are fixed, guess what - the body becomes fixed and rigid, too.
🌈 This is a Trying to be Right Mindset. Can you relate to this way of thinking?
🌈 Consider how an Explore Mindset could impact your whole system, and change the way you practice and perform. What happens when you sing while keeping 50% of your awareness on your feet meeting the ground, for example? Or when you sing while drawing the shape of your phrases through the air with your fingertips? What do you notice?
🌈 Did you meet your goal? Did you allow your goal to expand and shift to meet your ever-expanding and shifting system?
