Ep137 – The Rules of the Asylum: Rule #27 – Stop Being Your Own Worst Enemy on Guitar

from The Acoustic Asylum · host Dan Thorpe

In today’s podcast, I talk about the new rule of the asylum: stop being your own worst enemy. I offer some tips on how to counter this kind of thinking, including not letting a bad day lead you to spiral. We all tend to get stuck in some negative thinking, but it’s important to interrupt that and try to finish on a positive note.   Always aim to end your practice sessions by playing something fun you enjoy and try not to push yourself too hard. Everybody should have a simple piece that they can play and have fun with. If you do make the odd mistake, it’s ok! Take a listen to discover more tips on how to apply this rule!   If you enjoyed this podcast, you can get my free “guitar secrets” video course, which will help all beginners or those who are “stuck”.
