Overthinking my singing :(

Lately, I’ve been over-analytical and judgmental about my voice. Every time I’m about to produce sound, I overthink my posture, breathing, and coordination and I end up straining my voice. It’s so weird, I feel like I can’t sing anymore when literally two weeks ago I could approach a song with the right coordinations without overthinking it (most of the time). Now, I feel like I’m tense before I can even make sound.

This all started when I decided I am going to strengthen my breath support and really target my diaphragm when I sing. But thinking about squeezing my abs makes everything tense up too. Even walking around, I’m trying to learn how to engage my abs so I’m “chronically tense” trying to get my posture and the engagement of the abs right. Hope this is making sense to someone…

Now, I can’t help but overthink my technique because I am scared I might be using dangerous technique. I have a voice teacher and she says I sing great, she hasn’t really pointed anything out. Except we discovered my head voice is sorta weak bc it isn’t supported, hence I’ve been working on “perfecting” my technique and I feel like it’s backfiring on me. How do I get out of this doo doo mindset? :(
