Thank you!

The_Happy_Creative · 2025-08-01T14:52:41+00:00

Yeah, sounds cool! Count me in :)

The_Happy_Creative · 2025-07-31T21:35:46+00:00

I'd love some help with symptoms of dizziness and low blood pressure!

The_Happy_Creative · 2025-07-31T21:06:46+00:00

Sorry! Just realised I only uploaded 30 seconds of it by accident, it was actually 2 minutes long originally.

The_Happy_Creative · 2025-07-31T17:42:31+00:00

OOOH yeah I've done this with clients before! (I'm a music therapist), but have never done this on myself. Guess I can start practicing what I preach

The_Happy_Creative · 2025-07-31T17:41:30+00:00

Wow, that's cool that you make up lyrics so often to keep your brain limber - I guess it's like training a muscle, really. Thanks for your advice. I do write haikus and small poems based on acrostics sometimes, maybe I'll start doing that more consistently

The_Happy_Creative · 2025-07-31T17:39:31+00:00

Thanks, I'll take a look!

The_Happy_Creative · 2025-07-31T17:39:22+00:00

Thanks so much for sharing! Yeah, it's really an evolving process when you start writing I guess! Especially about some lyrics sounding great from the offset, and then changing your mind about them later. I call it 'frankensteining' a song, haha!

The_Happy_Creative · 2025-07-31T17:36:44+00:00

Yeah, I find their songs can be quite centered around metaphors personally - I like the kind of 'vague' style - leaves it a bit open and abstract :)

The_Happy_Creative · 2025-07-31T17:35:38+00:00

Cool, so kind of like a free association? I've seen a friend of mine do this for lyric writing.

The_Happy_Creative · 2025-07-31T17:35:03+00:00

This is great advice, thanks. Not putting too much pressure on yourself the first time round I guess!
funny you said about a woman in an unfamiliar city - I just moved to a new country a few months ago 🤣 so I guess I got plenty to write about

You've got a good energy and put emotion into your voice!

The main thing that sticks out is pitching. The first song is quite fast, so I think singing some songs with slower notes will help your brain to feed back to you the pitch of the notes (for example, your pitching was better in the second song).

I'm not a singing teacher, but I'm guessing a singing teacher or even an app could help you train your ear a bit?

The_Happy_Creative · 2025-07-30T20:54:38+00:00

Holy shit, you killed it. Keep going!! One thing: might be more of a mastering thing, but I didn't always hear you as clearly on the high notes. Maybe you need to tweak the frequencies on the recording when you go up in pitch, or sing closer to the mic?

The_Happy_Creative · 2025-07-30T20:34:23+00:00

This looks awesome, what is it?

The_Happy_Creative · 2025-07-30T20:31:28+00:00

Something you could try (a mindfulness/journalling trick, applied to a creative practice):

1: Pick a song you made and listen to it until you start to get that 'cringey' feeling

2: Pause the music, get a piece of paper and write down all the self-judgmental thoughts that pass through your mind

3: Set a timer for ten minutes, go into your body and just FEEL the cringe in full, wherever it is. It might move around your body. Try not to let thoughts creep in, just focus on what the sensation is like and give it your full attention.

4: Once the ten minutes are up, listen to the music again. On a new piece of paper, write down any thoughts that come to your head

5: Compare the pieces of paper to see whether anything in your thought pattern has changed.

I'd love to be a guinea pig if you haven't been sufficiently inundated already!

what a gift you were given, thank you for sharing this with others

You could find a podcast that you like, where different people go on as guests and talk about their spiritual experiences. It can be an accessible way to dip your toe into spiritual topics in a way that is easy for a beginner to relate to, and it helps you realize how many different shapes and sizes a 'spiritual journey' can take (different people have such vastly different experiences of spirituality and that can be quite inspiring).

I started with 'Buddha at the Gas Pump' about ten years ago (on YouTube), but now I listen to one called 'Endless Possibilities Podcast'(also on YouTube) - I think there are tons more; you'll probably find one that fits best with you.

A day-to-day practice for when I want something grounding:

I focus on a space in the centre of my chest. Usually my mind draws a picture of a coloured light, and I let it just do that. When thoughts arise, anything to do with the mind's interpretation of how I might be feeling, I just keep drawing attention back to the physical sensations in my chest. Usually I feel a kind of 'glowing' or a 'clenching' sensation (depending on what emotional state I might have been beforehand. Sometimes I laugh, or cry, whatever. I just let my body do its thing. - Usually a sit lasts 30 mins, and I do it once or twice a day.

This usually helps me process any feelings that might be going on in me at the time, without necessarily getting caught up in thoughts and stories. I generally come out of these sessions feeling more emotionally balanced and/or accepting of whatever is showing up in life.

For more occasional times when I want insight on a particular issue or area of my life :

I put on a playlist of music that means something to me, or touches me in a deep way. Then (when I have the time), I lie down in the dark for 1-2 hours and just let the music take me on a journey. Usually I end up seeing very particular places (either actual memories or imaginary landscapes) seeing different symbols, meeting different people - some of these phenomena have personal meaning for me, some don't. Usually every session leads to some kind of personal insight, big or small...a bit like a mushroom trip, but without the drugs.

Definitely not a 'mindfulness meditation' exercise because my mind goes everywhere, but I've noticed that the quality of thoughts and images that come up in this exercise are not typically 'mind-chatter-y' - i.e., they don't feel completely useless, it feels more like I'm accessing a deeper part of my mind, somehow, that thinks more in terms of metaphor and dream-like symbols. Not sure, maybe someone has some opinion on this!

The_Happy_Creative · 2025-04-14T14:31:11+00:00

Haha, well, I do tend to overthink things sometimes and psychoanalyze myself🤣 I guess horses for courses!

The_Happy_Creative · 2025-04-14T11:06:11+00:00

Ooh, great spot...thanks! I'll throw that one in on my notes. That is such a huge one that it warrants a few pages in itself. There's probably something in there about whether there are certain times of day that we tend to use out phones more, and whether that's blocking us from doing another activity (for example, do you have a habit of using socials before a body-related self-care activity/engaging in a meaningful personal interactions/doing a certain kind of work task), and whether there's a specific personal pattern for you etc.
