143 Practice Room Superpower: Self-Compassion

How self-compassion (or self-respect) can/will dramatically impact your results in the practice room. Sign up for the FREE Mind Over Finger Fall Workshop here: The Confident Musician – Everything you need to prepare for an optimal performance where you feel confident, play your best, and enjoy yourself!   Reflection: If my inner voice was a character right now, would it be a loving and supportive mentor, or a nagging bully? What sentences do I most often repeat to myself in the practice room? Are they helpful?  How can I turn them around into sentences that are helpful? When I say those things to myself, do I feel supported, or do I feel judged? Would I talk this way to a beloved student?   >> DOWNLOAD THE TRANSCRIPT FROM THIS EPISODE HERE <<   Do you have specific questions for me or my guests you would like answered on the podcast?
