Why am I talking about self-trust? Because it helps with songwriting!
No one knows better than YOU about you. Gosh, I wish I had learned this earlier. Not just in songwriting but in life. But let’s look at what this thought and belief….”No one knows better than you about you” can do for our songwriting: It can build self-trust and reduce your self-criticism.
When you trust yourself more while songwriting, you don’t interrupt the flow of creativity coming through you. You don’t comment (as much!), block, resist, criticize, judge…as much. Imagine if a song was coming to you, the melody and the lyrics, and your brain was silent other than the song…can you feel what this feels like? You can let your song flow while building a trusting relationship with yourself.
How do you build self-trust?
TRY THIS EXERCISE BELOW:
Answer the following questions with a few sentences:
What is it I most often judge about my songs? Why?
Whose voice do I use when criticizing my songs?
What would happen if I stopped grading and checking my songwriting?
What was happening the last time I wrote a song or song lyrics that I really liked? Was I wondering what others would think?
What is the payoff for criticizing my songs?(It might be that you won’t get teased or criticized by others so you are editing, checking, reigning yourself in before they have the opportunity to).
What would it feel like to write a song without wondering what others would think?
Try these positive affirmations instead:
What I have to say matters.
It is healthy for me to hear what my heart has to say.
I commit to quieting my inner critic.
I commit to questioning my inner critic.
I commit to calming my inner critic with kindness so we can work together.
No one knows better than me what is in my heart.
No one can say what I need to say.
I am whole.
I can be trusted.
I support you! Thanks for tuning in to the Podcast
