WHEN STRIVING FOR IMPROVEMENT ON A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT OR IN A SPORT, THERE IS ALWAYS THE DANGER OF IMBALANCE, OF MAKING WHAT YOU’RE STRIVING FOR IMPOSSSIBLE.
Setting bodily objectives you need to attain in a sport or on an instrument or in singing should be seen as attainable. If a objective is unattainable, you then’re caught in striving to do the unattainable/extraordinary, and you can not not damage your self within the strategy of striving for greatness.
I’m not speaking about decreasing your requirements. I’m asking you to do what’s extraordinary with out sacrificing your thoughts and your physique.
A golf objective is par or higher in an 18 gap golf sport
A musical objective is enjoying or singing quick scales at tempo with ease and precisely.
These are each excessive requirements in music and sports activities.
What’s to maintain these objectives from ALWAYS being sooner or later, all the time unattainable? Ought to the usual in sports activities and music ALWAYS be the unattainable?
What do I imply?
THE HIGH GOALS THE ATHLETE OR THE MUSICIAN SETS FOR HIM OF HER-SELF SHOULD ALWAYS BE POSSIBLE.
Once more, this doesn’t imply decreasing the usual you set for your self, however TO NOT SET A GOAL, THINKING IN THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD, IS NOT POSSIBLE! That is actually harsh.
What do I imply?
Steps must be set and brought to achieve the lofty objective.
First, after setting a troublesome objective, you need to be very clear to your self it’s attainable/doable. I perceive a complete lot of athletes and musicians consider that setting an unattainable objective is nice, and perhaps even heroic, nevertheless it units you up for by no means being happy, which will also be seen as heroic.
THE EMOTIONAL RESULT OF BELIEVING YOUR GOAL IS IMPOSSIBLE, WHETHER IT IS OR NOT, IS UNHAPPINESS, WHICH YOU HAVE TO SUPRESS TO STAY MOTIVATED.
In a sport or a musical instrument, it’s the physique which units the boundaries, particularly if the objective set by your thoughts is lofty.
What do I imply?
In the event you inform your physique to hit the golf ball within the gap, or the physique to play or sing the music quicker, and it may possibly’t, then what you need within the ideas is thwarted by the flawed physique.
Or is the physique flawed, given the objective is POSSIBLE?
What if it isn’t the physique that’s flawed, it’s your approach! I assume the physique may give you what you ask, in the event you give the physique the right instruments, the right approach, and the doable bodily objective.
THE ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE CAN GIVE YOU THESE TOOLS.

If the golfer can keep at or beneath par, and the musician can carry out precisely at tempo with a fantastic sound, then I assume the objectives have been met. Then the athlete and the musician can maintain refining their approach, and get higher and higher with open ended objectives, that deal with themselves.
