On Stage 25 - Positivity

A continuing series of insights from the stage at the local club level...


25. Not to sound to new-agey, but positivity is a greater force than negativity.  Aside from being well practiced (which is obviously important), you will make fewer mistakes and play a tighter, better, and more fun show if you select the mantra in your head: don't tell yourself  “don't mess this up, don't make a mistake.” Tell yourself  “I know this. I wrote this. I can play this in my sleep.”


  
Even limited to my experiences, this list is nowhere near complete.  I planted it as one of the first pages when I began this blog with the very first handful of points from the quickest surface skim of my gray matter.  It will continue to grow.
