how to get over dreading practicing (and sometimes playing in general)?
i enjoy playing my instrument and id say im okay at it but i keep running into an issue. i HATE practicing and its ruining my love of trombone. if i know i have to practice later it will literally ruin my entire day because i cant stop thinking about it and dreading the inevitable. and whenever i miss a practice or end one early (less than 30 minutes) i feel so terrible about it because i should be working on improving instead of being lazy. whenever i do practice i dont sound up to my standards and it makes me feel even worse about practicing because i dont feel like im making progress. to be honest it makes me feel like i dont deserve any of the accomplishments/auditions ive made and im struggling to find motivation. if i do practice i feel bad about how i sound/not practicing long enough and if i dont practice i feel bad about not practicing.
does anybody have any advice on how to regain motivation to practice?
