amethyst73Often in the evening after dinner, I'm tired, and very much not in an "I wanna practice singing" mood.
Yet, much more often than not, once I start, I get extremely engaged in what I'm doing and generally feel like I've accomplished something come the end of it. (Like, I think I managed to sing the sillily high D - the one up above the treble staff - cleanly, twice tonight. That's once more than I did in lesson this past week!) And I have energy while I'm practicing, once I've gotten into it.
Now, why can't I remember that? Why can't I just remind myself, when I don't feel like practicing, that I'm almost always glad that I've practiced once I've gotten started? Must be a little like various acquaintances and the gym...
