How to Focus through PMS
Okay, by now, all the men out there probably cringed. Before I get into this very important topic, I am going to acknowledge the cringing men through a single statement. If men a period once a month, they would never stop complaining/bitching/moaning/talking about it. With that in mind, woman are very quiet.
As a woman, PMS completely messes with the body and the mind. We all know this. We get moody and feel gross. Also, our voice is more sensitive and we are forced to sing lighter and more cautiously. If there is any virus going around, we have to stock up on the vitamin C since we are more vulnerable. Any ache or pain we already have in our body increases. Our emotions start to soar and we find ourselves ready to cry at the drop of a penny. I get very paranoid. I start to feel like everyone is against. I mentally lock myself in a closet and feel all alone. Everything annoys the crap out of me. Patience becomes a foreign language.
As a performer, we have to be emotionally on all the time when on a gig. No one is perfect. It is definitely harder to stay on when it gets to that time of the month. What do I suggest? I suggest communicating and plenty of alone time. Sit with yourself and do small things that make you feel happy. Journal about your feelings and get them out to avoid lashing out at an innocent being. It takes extra effort to keep yourself centered. Don’t start blaming others for your erratic emotions. That will only cause more emotional trauma.
If you are pms-ing, there is a good chance you are rolling your eyes at this entire blog. Dude, slap yourself. You’re doing the pms thing. Force yourself to be open and put yourself in a better place. Trust me, it is so worth it and you deserve to be smiling on the inside and out.
