I’m 22 years old but every one said my brain is much older because I used to think a lot! Six Years ago, At first I started to make my mind work but after a while I lost my control over it and over time It has been taking my control for years. I didn’t have enough power to turn it off, just like a slave, it used to take me wherever it wished. I’ve wrote a thick book out of my thoughts!
I reached the belief that analyzing every thing is a way to successes when I was actually paralyzed in my life because it required so much time and energy! And negative thoughts was adding so much stress and depression to present :(
The worst things were rules which I made them to prevent myself from doing something while they were becoming biases limiting my life like barriers.

I lost many friends 6 months ago include my best friend who I’ve loved him since childhood. A few days ago my girlfriend told me she is tired and she can’t continue with me. We have been loving each other for six years.

At that point I started to let things go because I had doubt about my lifestyle before and it changed to certainty when I read your post.

Thank you so much sir

JMLara, I felt exactly like that when I started playing last year, and I was 52! I was determined and I worked on one thing at a time. Little and often was best for me, and yes, I did have days when I never thought I would be able to play! . I still like 2 half hour practices ideally and like everyone get good and bad days. Knowing others feel the same, keeps me going!! You keep going too!

Hi JMLara,

Don’t fight against your negative thoughts, just let them go. Let them pass by and replace them for a nice thought. Just say “I can do this, no matter what”. It doesn’t matter if you now believe it’s true or not. That will come in time.
A little strain is part of the game. I will soon write a post about good posture and positioning. But for now just trust in yourself that it’s going to turn out fine. Your fingers are still inflexible, they aren’t used to playing chords. It will definitely become better after some regular practice. If you need a little trick to motivate your practice routine read this The 5 minute guitar Workout

Believe in yourself, that’s all there is to it!

Best regards,
Klaus Crow

Just felt like putting this down. It’s been almost a week since I picked back up the guitar and now am having beginner’s doubts – ‘it’s a real strain to hold down the notes, are you really sure you’re cut out for this, maybe this is a bad idea after all…etc’. But am fighting against these negative thoughts creeping in.

Cheers! The weekend beckons!
