CHEERS to PRIORITIZING YOUR VOICE this year!!

.

.

This week, a page will turn…a NEW year will begin…as 2020 becomes 2021. What a blessing it is to be alive another year and to celebrate all of our possibilities in the new year ahead! It is important to realize the POWER we have to decide how our lives will evolve this year, and to take full ownership over the things we can control—our attitude, mindset, goals and missions…the ways we treat others, the light of ours that we allow to shine, & the ways we strive to make a difference in this world. It is so important that we realize the power we possess to create our life & how crucial it is that we pursue this truth versus just allow our lives to “happen” to us. What goals do you have for becoming your best self in 2021? Can you include a goal to PRIORITIZE YOUR VOICE?! As an occupational &/or professional voice user, this is an incredibly important decision that you can make & commit to this year.

It will soon be a new year and today is a new DAY. GET INSPIRED to dive deeper into a new YOU! Try new things, set big goals, dream big dreams…& let nothing hold you back! Get uncomfortable with being uncomfortable—we know that this place of temporary discomfort is exactly where beautiful growth happens. Cheers to YOUR best VOICE…your most authentic, healthy, & reliable voice. Decide that NOW is the time you will PRIORITIZE it. What decisions can you make at the start of this new year that your voice will thank you for when you need it to “work”? To perform for you?…When you need it to inspire others?…To teach others?…To speak your truth?...To make an impact?

.

As an occupational voice user, your voice is your instrument and you must always remember it is your job to take care of it, strengthen it, condition it, & efficiently & dynamically USE it to accomplish your mission(s). What are your VOICE GOALS this year? How can you use YOUR unique vocal instrument to make a difference in the world this year? Aim to set specific goals that will help guide you in this journey of vocal success. See below for a FEW examples to help you find #yourbestvoicenow & all the way through 2021. What others can you come up with? And how will you hold yourself accountable? Visualize your best voice and your best self…and start the journey of showing up for what you visualize! It starts with YOU. #prioritizeyourvoice #becomeyourbestself

*Prioritize your overall health. Nutrition, movement, fitness, immunity, gut health, vitamins, etc…Pursue what brings you JOY!!

*Consistently get at least 7 hours of sleep every night

*Movement is Medicine, so get moving everyday.

*Drink at least half of your body weight in ounces of water DAILY

*Invest in an ultrasonic nebulizer & DIRECTLY hydrate your vocal folds using 0.9% isotonic saline solution—I recommend @vocalmist

*Sleep with an ultrasonic cool-mist humidifier

*Reduce dehydrators (caffeine, alcohol, smoking, drying medications)

*QUIT smoking AND vaping (come ON!)!...& avoid exposure to smoke as well

*Warm up your voice every morning & especially before teaching, coaching, performing, etc.

*Warm-down/cool-down your voice after extensive or intense voice use

*CREATE a vocal routine (health, stretching, exercises, rests, etc.—just like you would for your physical body)…

*Be aware of your vocal demands & aim to follow a healthy & realistic vocal schedule

*Create & monitor your vocal budget to maintain optimal voice. Understand you can’t do everything so prioritize what is most important to you.

*Consistently use personal amplification while teaching, instructing, giving lectures, &/or public speaking

*Invest in voice therapy &/or vocal coaching (@voxfit_)…Learn all you can about your beautiful instrument & how to ensure it is healthy, efficiently functioning in all settings, & dynamically used to leave a lasting impact on others.
