How many of you make New
Year's Resoulutions?
Here's why you should, and a few tips to get yourself motivated.
How many of you made them?
Or are you the type to say, "Well, what's the use, I never keep
'em anyway."?
Think about it for a minute, if we had that attitude about everything
in life, then why
would we even get up in the morning? I mean, why drive to work or
go to school when
you might have an accident and get killed? You see how silly this
is?
The word resolution is just a fancy word for "goal setting".
Webster lists several definitions but re-occuring words are "resolve",
"declare", and "decide".
Why not use the beginning of the year as a fresh start to achieve
the goals that you set
for yourself on DRUMS? Write them down in big bold letters and tape
them to the wall if you have to. This is a common habit of successful
people and it WILL work if "you" work hard for it and "MAKE
IT HAPPEN". Even if you don't meet all of your goals,
just "TRYING" gets you a lot closer than
you would have gotten otherwise.
You don't need to have a list of 10 or 12 things if you don't want.
Sometimes just 1 or 2 goals are sufficient. Maybe you can resolve
to get that double stroke roll perfected once and for all. Or maybe
you can commit to taking a few private lessons to help
get you out of that slump.
GET POSITIVE, GET MOTIVATED! Make a few resolutions
and get out there and KICK SOME BUTT!
TIPS FOR SELF-MOTIVATION
-------------------------
1. Read books with inspiring themes or messages.
2. Listen to inspiring music. Music that leaves
you feeling "pumped" and filled with positive
energy.
3. Listen to self-help/motivational tapes. If you
haven't tried 'em, you're missing out!
4. Watch movies like "Shawshank Redemption" that
portray the epitome of human perseverance.
5. Go to drum clinics and/or watch drum videos of
your favorite players.
6. Study the patterns of successful people and
hang out with them any chance you get. They "will"
rub off on you!
