I want to get good at the guitar because it would be nice to get paid for playing some tunes… if not that then at least it’ll be fun to jam around a bonfire when camping.
I think the identity of someone who enjoys music and someone motivated and inspired can earn a living off of playing music… but I don’t really know what it takes to get there yet, Like, if I did I wouldn’t be here trying to figure it out
What I really need to do is just get started and I don’t know how to get pumped up to do it… but I guess ill try playing a few bars every day just to start with.
That’s a great goal to have, Brian! As you progress through the habit challenge, you’ll learn all about the Motivation Myth, which will help you realize that Motivation and Inspiration are not as important as having a schedule and following through with it. You’ll also learn to overcome Habit Inertia so that it will be much easier for you to get started with your habit!
Keep going! We look forward to seeing your progress.
Hey, Brian. The idea is to start small so that it’s so easy that you won’t have an excuse not to do it. You’ll also be intensifying your habits in small increments and the idea is that you shouldn’t even feel your habit intensifying. Your habit should snowball without you realizing it and without making the increase feel difficult.
You’re doing great! Keep at it! 🙂
That’s a good start, Brian. That being said, later on, it’ll be a good idea to figure out what time of the day you’ll do your next set once your practice time exceeds one hour.
As you progress in the habit challenge you’ll learn to make your habits more convenient so that it will be easier for you to allocate more practice time.
Hey there, Brian! Have you tried Yousician? I think it’s a great app that will help you learn to play the guitar.
Hey, Brian! 🙂 It’s good to know that you do have a warmup routine. It’ll help you consistently get started on your practice habit.
If you have a songbook, you can get yourself a bookmark so you don’t damage the songbook by folding the pages.
Have you also tried hiring a teacher? Guidance from a good instructor will help you practice more effectively.
I think it’s great that you invested in making sure that you don’t get interrupted while practising. It’s also good that you let your family know your schedule so that they can take your practice time into account. If you haven’t already, let them in on your progress with the habit challenge so that they can support you in building habits.
Hey, Brian. Apprising family members of your progress is a good start. You can also post your progress on social media so that people will know you’ve been practising even if they aren’t monitoring you. I think you’ll see that some of your friends will be proud of you for sticking to your habits. 🙂
