A really very long time in the past once I was enjoying guitar live shows, I got here up a kinder method for me to memorize items for the live performance. I’d play a chunk 50 occasions, earlier than I examined whether or not I had memorized the music or not.
It labored fairly effectively. I wasn’t stressing about getting the piece memorized, and I discovered after 50 repetitions I used to be starting to get the piece memorized. So I performed it 50 extra occasions with out testing my reminiscence, and I had memorized much more of the piece.
This essay isn’t about this specific course of I used, however about what was occurring in my thoughts as I did the repetitions.
I made a decision that it didn’t matter the place my thoughts was as I performed, so long as I did the enjoying. I allowed my thoughts to wander, and figured I’d get the piece memorized anybody.
Altering course right here:
I’ve a consumer who memorizes simply, however all the time has issues when he performs for me. He forgets the place he’s within the piece. I requested him what’s occurring, and he mentioned his thoughts was interested by issues he must do, has executed, ought to have executed, and so forth.
This acquired me to pondering.
We have now minds which can be wandering everywhere, and WE’RE STILL ABLE TO PLAY A PIECE OF MUSIC WELL, OR RUN WELL, OR GOLF WELL.
This appears problematic to me, and possibly it’s not an issue, if we’re not making ourselves responsible or afraid of what we’ve executed or must be doing. This implies unfavorable feelings, concern and/or guilt, should not interfering with the exercise.
Besides, by some means I believe this can be a drawback, if we’re not totally current in an exercise that requires nice approach and/or memorizing.
It’s like studying a web page of a ebook, and also you’re so far-off, you don’t even know what you’ve learn.
IF YOU DO SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARILY WELL AND RELY ONLY ON MEMORY TO GET IT DONE, AND YOU’RE NOT PRESENT, THEN YOU’VE MISSED THE JOY OF THE MOMENT.
YOU CAN ONLY REWARD YOURSELF WITH HOW MASTERFULLY YOU’VE DONE WHAT YOU’RE DOING OR WON, GIVEN YOU MISSED THE JOY OF THE PERFORMANCE, WHETHER IN MUSIC OR A SPORT.
Being completely current and centered on what you’re doing adjustments what?
On the very least, it exhibits you you may be completely conscious within the second, and your thoughts leaping round isn’t all the time calling the photographs.
I consider there’s something life alteringly profound once you understand you may be current for lengthy intervals of time, and never must be pulled everywhere by a thoughts by no means fairly capable of focus.
IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO BE PRESENT WITH A QUIET MIND AND IN JOY FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME.
TRY IT, YOU’LL LIKE IT.
