Motivation Is Overrated: The Kick-in-the-Pants Guide for Musicians
Introduction to getting Motivated
Hey, young virtuosos and shower singers alike! You’ve stumbled upon the secret sauce of “How to get motivated,” but let’s be real — motivation is as reliable as that one band member who always says they’re “five minutes away.” Spoiler alert: They’re not. They’re at home staring at their unmoved guitar, just like you!
The Myth Called Motivation
Now, before we dive in, let me tell you, searching for motivation to practice your music is like trying to catch that super speedy squirrel in your backyard – it’s a wild goose chase. “How to get motivated” is probably what got you here, but we’re about to flip the script.
Just Do It – No, Really
“When you aren’t motivated to do anything but then you realize motivation is fleeting… so you get up and get it done!”
This gem of wisdom isn’t from ancient philosophers but from a modern-day YouTube short. Picture this: Someone slumped over their guitar like a limp noodle, looking as if they’re about to faceplant into a pile of sheet music. But then, a wild thought appears – motivation is flakier than my grandmother’s pie crust. The only solution? Get up and strum that guitar like it owes you money!
Practice Makes Perfect (And Occasionally Bored)
Let’s be honest, practicing scales can feel like watching paint dry. However, those scales are your secret weapon to becoming the next music sensation that even the squirrels will want to jam to. Transitioning from the “meh” to the “yeah!” requires a simple action – starting.
Small Steps, Big Leaps:
Remember, every concert starts with a single note. Break down your practice sessions into micro-goals. It’s like leveling up in a video game, but instead of fighting dragons, you’re slaying riffs!
The Laughter Routine:
Incorporate some fun into your routine. Play your scales in the style of a dramatic opera or a spooky movie soundtrack. Before you know it, you’re not just practicing – you’re producing Grammy-worthy Snapchat content.
Conclusion
So, let’s get to the point. Drop the search for the mystical motivation. Embrace the glorious grind. Join the elite club of musicians who know that “How to get motivated” is just a fancy way of saying “Just do it already!”
