And Repeat

Just when I think I have some things together on the drum set, something else comes along that trips me up. While this obviously frustrates me, I strive to embrace the process. I find that it helps if I allow myself to feel whatever amount of discomfort that is present, and try again. And repeat. It also helps when I remember that pretty much everything I can do on the drum kit was uncomfortable at one point. I know that I can count on this to happen. However, I also know that I will be able to learn this new thing by staying organized and dedicating myself to the task at hand. This takes quite a bit of patience with myself. I am more successful sometimes and not so successful other times. What always helps is for me to take two or three deep breaths. And repeat.
