Don’t sing because you’re happy — be happy because you sing!

Staring at a blank page waiting for the muse to strike. Slumped in a chair waiting to feel energised enough to go jogging. Feeling down and the last thing you want to do is to sing.

Sounds familiar? Next time, rather than waiting to feel the urge, take action and the feeling will follow.

Many is the time I’ve not felt like going to choir. It’s cold, dark and raining outside, and a long drive awaits. I’m feeling pretty miserable and the last thing on my mind is singing.

But it’s my job so I have to get on with it.

And always, minutes after the room starts singing, my spirits lift and I feel great!

So rather than waiting to feel happy before start singing, just sing and you will end up feeling happy.

Just do it!
