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 targets you wish to attain in a sport or on an instrument or in singing must be seen as attainable. If a aim is not possible, you then’re caught in striving to do the not possible/extraordinary, and you can not not harm your self within the technique 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 aim is par or higher in an 18 gap golf sport
A musical aim is taking part in 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 targets from ALWAYS being sooner or later, all the time not possible? Ought to the usual in sports activities and music ALWAYS be the not possible?
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 need to be set and brought to achieve the lofty aim.
First, after setting a tough aim, you wish to be very clear to your self it’s attainable/potential. I perceive a complete lot of athletes and musicians imagine that setting an unattainable aim is nice, and perhaps even heroic, nevertheless it units you up for by no means being glad, 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 aim set by your thoughts is lofty.
What do I imply?
When you inform your physique to hit the golf ball within the gap, or the physique to play or sing the music quicker, and it could actually’t, then what you need within the ideas is thwarted by the flawed physique.
Or is the physique flawed, given the aim is POSSIBLE?
What if it isn’t the physique that’s flawed, it’s your method! I assume the physique can provide you what you ask, in case you give the physique the right instruments, the right method, and the potential bodily aim.
THE ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE CAN GIVE YOU THESE TOOLS.
The Alexander Method instructor seems to be at your golf method or your instrument’s method, and step-by-step, eliminates all the unhealthy striving straining habits that make the golfer or the musician inaccurate or not in a position to make music at tempo.
If the golfer can keep at or under par, and the musician can carry out precisely at tempo with a ravishing sound, then I assume the targets have been met. Then the athlete and the musician can preserve refining their method, and get higher and higher with open ended targets, that care for themselves.
