Singing Songs

This is one of my favorite techniques. It’s a small but very powerful tool to deal with critical inner voices or limiting beliefs.

Process

Step 1

Choose a limiting belief: Are there limiting beliefs that hold you back from time to time? Example: “I can’t do it!” “I’m too small!” etc. Often, these beliefs appear as inner voices that hinder or negatively affect us in critical moments. For this exercise, choose something that consistently brings you down.

Step 2

Sing the sentence: Now choose a funny melody, e.g., “Maya the Bee,” “The Bare Necessities” or “The Merry Woodcutters,” and sing the original words to this tune. Sing it out loud and lively for a few minutes.

Step 3

Move along with it: Move your body to the rhythm of the song and keep singing the sentence. After a short time, the sentence will lose its emotional negative power.
