Random life update. This w/e I had the honor to accompany one of my teens on piano (they were on solo instrument). I used to perform piano competitively as a teen. I struggled a lot with #perfectionism, couldn’t ever come to terms with it & gave up piano in college to ultimately pursue med school (yeah, I know…). This was my first time to play piano publicly in decades. I was terrified I was going to mess up and ruin my kid’s performance. Then I saw their music and they’d written one big word for themself at the top - “BREATHE”. I realized how much better it could be to consciously choose to focus on the breath, and #joy of creating music together instead of the fear of mistakes ❤️ We had a wonderful experience 🎶
