I’ve always had a fear of heights. I think it’

I’ve always had a fear of heights. I think it’s probably related to an accident I had as a toddler; I was accidentally pushed and fell down a steep staircase. I twisted my hip and had to wear an uncomfortable cast for several months.

The funny thing is, for a long time I actually had forgotten about the fall I took when I was a kid. But my body hadn’t forgotten. I would be on a hike, and as soon as I noticed I was just a few feet away from a steep ledge, I would start to feel the fear & anxiety kick in.

And yet, I love to be in nature, and I live in a place that has a ton of mountains, so I have learned to cope.

I breathe, I slow down, I take my time. And most importantly, I remind myself that I’m going to be alright. Over time, I’ve realized how important these habits are both on and off the mountain.

In my work as a performer and music therapist, I’ve come across 2 kinds of people - folks that sing and folks that don’t. And for the ones that don’t, they usually have an old story about that time someone (a friend, a parent, a music teacher) told them that they SHOULDN’T sing. This is always sad for me to hear, but this self-censorship happens all of the time.

The truth is, it is our birthright as humans to use our voices. To laugh, to yell, to communicate, and yes, to SING! Maybe you’re not meant to sing at Carnegie Hall, but singing shouldn’t always be looked at as just this performative activity, served up on a plate to be scrutinized and judged. Unfortunately, society’s obsession with comparison and judgement, now manifested in shows like @americanidol and @nbcthevoice , have perpetuated the fear around self-expression.

Singing is really good for our bodies. Similar to exercise, there are amazing physiological benefits to singing, including the release of endorphins, dopamine and oxytocin, the lowering of anxiety, and lowering blood pressure, just to name a few.

And so I challenge you to sing! And when the inner critic arises, I ask you to question where that voice is coming from. Is it somebody else’s judgement that you’ve internalized? Go ahead and free yourself of that shit. 💩

As one of my sheroes, @anidifranco , says…

You don't have to be a super genius
To open your face up and sing
