Just Breathe

That's all I want to be able to do. Just breathe...and then sing. Without complication. I cannot figure out for the life of me why this is so difficult! I had the most stressful lesson today because my breath wasn't working: I have good days, ok days, and then I have days like today where no matter how much I try to visualize or relax and just breathe, everything locks up. I think way to much, and I wish I could stop and just breathe. Sometimes I fear that I'll never get to the potential I desire because my breathe support is so inconsistent and I can't seem to get grounded. I'm trying to be patient, but at the same time, I feel like the clock is ticking away, and it's now or never...one concept that I am trying to keep in mind is that every singing day will be different....for the rest of my life. This concept escaped me as I burst into tears in my voice lesson today. *sigh*
