Guest guest Posted May 20, 2000 Report Share Posted May 20, 2000 Particularly to alan little- yours was a much-needed insight and one I'm still learning to apply to my musical practice as well as my yoga practice. I'm becoming more and more aware (if for no other reason than my teacher is pointing it out more- or am I just hearing it better?) that the monkey is taking its toll on my singing lessons, and you're right- the best way to keep it from affecting me is just to acknowledge it and keep going.<br>I have always looked for something outside of me to goad me into doing what I wanted to get done. This has included having my then-bf change my email passwords so I couldn't waste time on the net when I had assignments to do, or always trying to find partners for workouts, or using external deadlines (an upcoming visit) to force myself to work up the nerve to end a relationship. And, for the same reason, I mentioned wanting an audio CD of the primary series to "tell me what to do."<br>And I still think it would help, but I realize now that I have to learn to find my own determination in the things that matter most. (It amazes me when people tell me I'm stubborn, as happens a lot. I don't _feel_ stubborn.)<br>So, tomorrow morning, it's back to the mat, and back to the piano. The only way I can learn this lesson is to practice, as you (and someone else) said.<br>Thanks again- these were much-needed words.<br><br>Namaste,<br>bodysings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
