The Practice Joy Journal

Joy may be defined as a mood, emotion, character trait, or practice. Often, "joyful people" (those who carry the character trait of joy) practice joy deliberately. When we practice joy, we don't force ourselves to be happy; we simply open ourselves up to experience pleasant feelings whenever they occur, instead of being bogged down by unpleasant ones like frustration. It helps us see the bright sides of things.

By choosing to practice joy while you practice your instrument, you create a positive experience for yourself that will make practicing something you want to come back to, and your sessions will become more efficient and deliberate. You'll notice increases in both progress and enjoyment.

This digital journal functions as both a regular practice journal with places to write down technique, sight-reading, and repertoire for each day but also to remind you to take a few deep breaths to settle your body and calm your mind before you fully dive into the session.

When you sign up for my newsletter (which includes more freebies, helpful information, and other resources), you'll get the Practice Joy Journal for free.
