New Voice for the New Year

I did well last year with only one injection which I had at the beginning of December 2008 and even that one I could have put off as my voice was not that bad. The major factors contributing to my better voice have been a more acute awareness of feelings within the physical and mental realms of my body.

I think the release of anger has a significant part to play in maintaining a good voice. The reason I say this is that anger arose a few times in the last month and it was like an unwelcome old friend ... it reminded me of how this old friend reared its head often prior to the last 12 months. This could be the key to a better voice, do not hold onto anger, let it go! I'll work on resolving this unwanted feeling should it arise again.

It was fortuitous that I came across, in a second hand bookshop, 'The Journey' by Brandon Bays just a couple of weeks ago, all the other books were neatly stacked but this one was on its side ready to be taken. An excellent read. This book was like a pointer indicating that indeed holding onto unwanted feelings can cause dis-ease.

Having my good voice again is SOooo wonderful. The first thing that friends say is how good it is sounding, that's reassuring but the best thing is the ease and freedom in conversing whenever I want to. I am so grateful to my neurologist for his exceptional skill in performing the Botox procedure, I am in and out of the clinic within minutes however I may never need to see him again.
