yes, reframing those negative thoughts is what you have to do continuously. Turn what you perceive to be a failure or loss, into a gain – no matter how small.
Like Tony says: “I showed up today”
– “I managed to do 2 of the 12 measures”
– “I tried very hard” (it didn’t sound like Tony but progress was made, it will be better next time!).
Just remember, the learning happens when you struggle! If you think about it, it’s pretty obvious. If Tony shows you something in the video and then you pick up your guitar and immediately repeat it back, what does that tell you? It tells you that you already had the skills to do that thing!
If it takes a bit of time, let’s say 20 minutes, then it comes along well you learned a little bit.
If it takes longer and you’re still not getting it right – well you still learned, probably learned more than in the first 2 scenarios, but it didn’t end in total dominance over the challenge. But there is growth that will unveil itself to you later on, could be in another challenge or the exact same skill down the road.
