If you’re tired of feeling guilty for both not resting enough whilst simultaneously not working enough, this episode is for you.

Because in today’s video I want to release you from the concept of

“Self-Care”

and give you a better alternative to leading a happy life as an artist. I’m confident that this perspective, albeit a potentially controversial one, is a helpful reframe for everyone, but especially for my vocal artists and anyone in charge of their working time like

• freelancers
• entrepreneur
• creative

Are you a singer who wants to successfully perform, write, record, and promote your own music?

I would love to chat with you and see if I could be a good fit for you as your coach!

This week's challenge:

Step 1: Think of one habit you’d like to add to your day that would take less than 5 minutes and is easy to do. Example - take my vitamins, floss my teeth, do 5 squats, water my plants, drink a glass of water first thing in the morning.. 

Step 2: Find another existing behaviour of yours and put your new habit AFTER it. Example after I brush my teeth I will floss. After I switch on the coffee machine I will do 5 squats. The existing behaviour is your prompt. 

Step 3: You need to celebrate immediately after by saying yay, go me, well done, wohoo or anything that makes you feel good. Emotions create habits, if your brain associates a positive emotion with doing a behaviour it’s going to want to repeat it.
