It's OK

Every year, I go through two months without any work. Without fail or mercy, I am by myself posting videos, practicing furiously, and desperately trying to make this depressing time count for something. Two months, every year. Here’s what I’ve learned in that time:

It’s ok to take a break.

It’s ok to go easy on and sit with yourself for a couple of weeks.

It’s ok to miss a day of playing your instrument.

It’s ok to acknowledge how unfair it seems.

It’s ok to be a non-musical human for a while.

It’s ok not to be constantly ambitious.

It’s ok to rest.
