Are you feeling a little bit scattered or unsettled at the moment? It’s no wonder. Chaos is all around us in this crazy world, and there’s precious little we can do to fix it. But the chaos in our own personal harp world is something completely different. If you’re feeling any chaos or overwhelm about your harp playing, I have good news for you; this kind of chaos is something you can fix. Absolutely.
Even in a year when we aren’t bombarded on every side by messages of gloom and doom, these last few weeks of the year are hectic. In the midst of the holiday festive preparations and the holiday music preparation, we struggle to find focus. There have been times in the past when I have alternated between frantic practice sessions and times when I’ve tried to practice but ended up just sitting at the harp, unable to figure out what I should be practicing. There was so much I felt I should be doing, that finding the focus to actually do any of it was nearly impossible. Those were frustrating and demoralizing times, for sure.
Of course, that “too much to do and too little time to do it” feeling isn’t exclusive to the holidays, but today, as the holiday countdown is beginning, seemed like a good day to sort out the harp overwhelm so you can put these ideas for finding focus into action now. We’ll talk about the three kinds of overload - the overload we create, the overload we accept and the overload we imagine - and I’ll share how I deal with them. I also want to help you explore the most common “focus fiends,” the habits we think are helpful but are actually robbing us of our time, energy and yes, harp happiness. We’ll banish the sneaky “focus fiends” and start hanging out with some new “focus friends.”
