When You Don't Feel Like Singing: Singing Through the Hard Times

[@cwehden]

I actually find it easier to sing during difficult times, singing can offer escape and shelter from reality 👍

[@singwisevocals]

I'm going through some pretty serious things right now in my own life, and I'm finding that to be the case for me, too. But there are times when the emotions are so heavy that I can't. That doesn't last long. Right now, singing is keeping my head above water.

When I’m going through things, it takes more effort to bring myself to practice, but once I make myself start, it ends up making me feel better

[@singwisevocals]

That's kind of like exercising for many people. They dread it. They don't want to start. But once they do, they immediately feel good about it. Singing can definitely be similar. It's tough to be very disciplined about practicing, especially when there are so many other things that we have to prioritize in our lives. But that daily discipline can be so beneficial.

I find when I sing when I'm feeling down, it actually makes me feel better. Like you said, I do pick songs to sing that go with how I'm feeling at the time. It's a good way to release the emotions and also let others know how you're feeling!

I appreciate you making this video. Personally, I had a rough last 2 years in my life. I’ve wanted to continue my artistic career but it’s not easy. I always felt so guilty and angry that I didn’t just push through it and continue my singing/acting. But I thank God, that now I am in a better place in my life with a better job. Now I feel like I am stronger than ever and I can start again. All my fellow classmates are finishing college and I am in a completely different place but I am going to keep trying and keep going. Thank you for reminding me that we shouldn’t expect more from ourselves than we can truly handle

Loving what you have to say about difficulty making ourselves sing when we're down. Your words about singing for the sake of healing struck me deeply and have inspired me to keep going. Thanks so much, love your detailed descriptions and the addition of Anne of GG and Princess Bride references :D!

Good topic for a video. It's important to deal with things correctly, and there are different methods for different people.

Thanks so much Karyn for this very sensitive and insightful video. I think everyone can relate to what you are saying in some form or another. Those depths of despair (3:37 Lol) ..we've all either been there, or will be there at some point in life I think. It is good to be aware of it, not be overwhelmed by it. And whether singing or not, it will also one day, be okay again. Kindest wishes, Lin.

Thanks for bringing up this topic! Dwelling on negative thoughts is high energy consuming process - to the point where it can sometimes be felt on a physical level. I'm not exactly a beginner but my vocal technique is still quiet immature. So every time I feel down I become virtually unable to produce any sound of decent quality. Probably it takes a lot of practice to develop enough «endurance» to sing no matter what…

I really needed this video at this moment in my life, thank you so much Karyn. Everything you’ve said has resonated with me so much.

Singing need a psychologically positive attitude. I recharge my self always even in hard times to keep training keep the excersises going until I gain good techniques to have a bright creative singing. It needs huge effort and discipline. and maybe years of training .
