When there is no clarity, no direction, I often have a feeling of having my energy scattered. There is possibly no way for me to reach the "in the flow" state of experience at this stage. I shall just be aware of this, and not resist this feeling of scatterness. Somehow, the more I resist this feeling, the more it would sustain. I shall just try to be more aware of all those tiny moments when I felt a slight clarity of direction, perhaps that would help me become clearer and clearer as time goes by.
Some of the things I would like to learn in days to come by would be as follow, but I won't dare say that these would be my resolutions for year 2005:
- Learn to be more kind on the feelings of others when I offer my objective criticisms, often too candid.
- Learn to drive and get a driving licence, so that I could chauffeur my instrument (the double bass) around should I need to bring it out of home.
- Learn to be more disciplined in working on my double bass techniques (including scales and arpeggios, bowing, vibrato)
- Learn to be more auditory aware, through ear-training.
- Learn to be more willing to be open about sharing my innermost feelings and thoughts to others when it is necessary.
- Learn to be more disciplined in exercising to keep myself fitter.
- Learn a European language (probably German or Italian).
- Learn something new, simply for the joy of learning.
Anyone care to share yours?
