Happy Musician Strategy
THE STRATEGY
Continue building a good habit:
Have a backup plan: make a REDIRECT list of alternative ways to deal with a bad performance, or bad practice, or just a bad day.
This list should be short and in a place you can easily locate it.
THE SCIENCE
Baby steps: we don't want ego depletion. Ego depletion is “a person’s diminished capacity to regulate their thoughts, feelings, and actions.”It impacts our ability to form new habits because our supply of willpower is spread out among all the areas of our lives. Because of this, it’s important to work on only one habit at a time. That way, your store of willpower can be channeled into completing that one habit, increasing the odds of success.
