        Clarify the Context







                                           So, let’s unravel this one. If you think about it, most likely the dialogue
                                           going on in your mind is: ‘ I want to be MORE confident in singing...or, I
                                           want to be confident ENOUGH to do such-and-such.’

                                           This means that there is some level on which you do already feel

                                           confident, even if it’s just singing to yourself alone.
                                           So what I want you to get your teeth stuck into first here are the

                                           questions:

                                            1   In what context/ scenario do I already feel confident in singing?

                                            2   In what context/ scenario do I aspire to feel confident, so that I
                                               can do it with ease and joy?

                                           For example this might be:


                                               I feel confident singing my part in a choir amongst others, but I
                                              aspire to feel confident enough to sing solo. Or

                                               I feel confident enough to sing with friends, but I want to feel
                                              confident enough to sing at open mic nights. Or

                                               I feel confident enough singing at open mics, but I want to feel
                                              confident enough to perform at events, and get gigs regularly.

                                           You need to do this, firstly, to positively acknowledge what you’ve
        There are few                      already got and not just take it for granted;

        things more                        and secondly to be clear on your specific goal; because you need to

        powerful than                      know what you’re aiming for, and it affects the next steps.

        a life lived with                  So, go ahead and grab a nice piece of paper and answer questions 1
        passionate clarity                 and 2 above, for yourself.

                                           Great stuff!
