I only practiced two time this week and I'm disappointed in myself. The reason music teachers tell you to practice everyday is so you don't forget how to play, which is exactly what happens when I don't practice. I tried something Interesting. I shut the door to my room and pulled the curtains and turned off all the lights so I couldn't look at anything, not even the guitar. it was harder to play without seeing my fingers and at first this hindered me. i found it very difficult to let loose. Slowly i became more accustomed to it, but i never reaches that state of freedom that I usually do. I'd like to try it again. tomorrow night. I'm also going to practice early tomorrow morning to see if the time of day affects the practice. I;ve been meaning to do that for a while. I can't really say to much else about this practice because I was so tired. i really think that to get anything out of this I should be awake. Right now the biggest thing I'm getting out of it is that I need more sleep.

Today was weird. Actually the whole weekend was weird. The whole time I felt like i was sleep deprived even though I wasn't. I had a hard time concentrating, which really got in the way of writing my short story. This morning i took some vitamins to see if it would help. I don't think it did. I had a really hard time getting into the guitar today. I stopped myself from wandering a few times in the beginning, but everytime i slowd down or stopped, i kept thinking to myself how much i didn't like what i was doing. It wasn't until the last few minutes that i felt comfortable playing. Usually i get into my comfort zone within the first three minutes. My whole day as like that. I react the same way to guitar as I do to writing and woodwoorking. i think i should try practicing in the morning as much as possible. I usually feel at the height of my creativity in the morning. I've also only practiced three times the last two weeks. I think this really takes a toll on the ease of the process. I think it would be beneficial for me to practicea as much as possible.
