Possibly the hobby my brain has to work hardest at 🎹😮💨
Learning an instrument is hard. Learning an instrument as an adult is very hard. Both are very rewarding!
I don’t have hours a day to practice so progress is slow but it is still progress! Even the thought of playing this a year ago would have had me laughing that there was NO WAY.
Learning music has been one of the things I’ve found best for combating my perfectionism mindset. I HAVE to work at it. I can’t turn up to my lesson and wing it. I need to be persistent and not give up, and I also need to accept that I won’t be good at it right away and that hard work is worth doing.
These are the posts that make me feel the most nervous as it feels quite vulnerable. I think we can often feel that when we show up online that it needs to be complete, perfect, mastered, curated, and aesthetic. This definitely isn’t that and shows the unpolished, imperfect, slow, and desperate effort to concentrate. 😝 I wish I could pick it up faster but why wait until I have it all figured out before I share?
I’m not quite ready for wedding accompaniment 🤣
