I am super curious about how it has been figured out that chronic stress is connected to our voice as being tired/strain on our vocal cords and specifically difficulty remembering lyrics and melodies. That is super interesting!

Hey Laura! For sure! I don’t have links to the specific research, but I did look into this a lot back in the day when I was creating these courses—and it’s something I learned from my coaches as well! Stress is very hard on our mind and body—it tightens things up (which is not good for the tiny muscles we use in our singing!) and creates brain fog… not good for singing either! I’m sure if you google it you will see lots of blogs and studies on this type of thing!

What a great challenge. I too often overfill my plate with things to be done. I recently took up calligraphy as a hobby to de-stress. Although learning it has been a bit stressful. Haha
And worship fills my cup every time. His joy’s gonna be my strength!

Oooooooo calligraphy! Something I definitely want to try sometime! I’m mesmerized by videos on the web of people writing out Scripture in beautiful writing!

I completely agree that singing can sometimes be the cause of stress, but singing alone to my favourite songs is also huge stress-reliever! Nature is definitely a biggie for me too. We don’t have mountains but walks or mountain biking through the forests are like hitting the “RESET” button for me.

Charmaine December 1, 2017

Yes!! Music and nature! Two of my absolute favs! 🙂

Yes! Destressing is hugely important for my well-being! I’m constantly trying to maintain that perfect balance of God, spouse, taking care of my family, hobbies & friendships. Its soo tough! The more I grow in Him, the more I find that I cannot do anything without Him. His strength is made perfect in our weaknesses. When I find myself hitting a breaking point, I try to stop and remind myself to see the World through His eyes, not my own. It’s easy to get wrapped up in all the busyness of life and forget that He is our source for everything.

Amen! 🙂
