Fishing for Fun

Most everyone, including fisherman, would consider hauling fish hard work.

But what if I tell you there’s a simple remedy these fishermen are using that makes their hard work feel like play. A tool so simple, anyone can apply it. Like all simple tools, the power behind this remedy is deceiving.

Recently CBS news interviewed several older fishermen in Virginia. They said that hauling in nets filled with fish was very hard work. But when they all sang together, their whole attitude changed.

Singing their old ‘sea chanteys’ got these men into rhythm with each other. Not only that, they swear time passed by much faster.

There’s a profound reason why singing turns work into play.

Once you take your mind off of the fact that you’re ‘working’ and focus on something fun, you’ve switched from mundane slaving to inspired living. When your fun activity involves melody and rhythm, like singing songs or chanting, you enter a world of joyful relaxation.

You’ve just tuned out work and tuned into happiness.

This switch from feeling like life’s a drag to getting juiced with positive vibrations happens in a split second. Good thing you can access this happy state in an instant.

Why is singing is so helpful. Because you’re using mind and body, Plus your emotions. Singing gets you physically moving, mentally focused and makes you feel good. It’s the same reason babies and children love to be sung to.

Clara often sings instead of talks while she’s playing. When I was a child, my sisters and I did the same thing. Our dad often recorded us at play while singing to ourselves and each other.

The profound relief you will feel when applying your voice in a harmonious way is instantaneous. Muscles relax, smiling feels more natural and nothing seems to faze you. Singing exercises the brain And body. When you sing, your heart lights up. You sit or stand up straighter and breathe more deeply.

What it really boils down to is this. Your voice is your feeling-communicator. The sounds coming from your body will always tell you and everyone else how you’re really feeling. Not so much the words coming out of your mouth – but the vibrations of your voice.

Next time you want to complain, try singing a song first. Use your voice to help you. Otherwise, you may want to remain silent.

Stand up and sing the first song you feel in your heart.

Warm Regards,
