Ok, so this was a somewhat rough week for me. First, I got sick again, so it was not really a lot of great practice on this weekend. Then on monday I just had the most awful time with playing in the morning, though it did get better in the afternoon. The other days I still didn't get any great practice sessions... just kind of OK ones... maybe the fact that I have a big history exam next monday is messing with me a little too much.
I did do one thing well, though, and that was to really focus on the breathing thing. I had to stop myself basically every few minutes to correct myself, but I has gotten better. I can't say it's where I want it yet, but in another week or so of doing this I should be pretty good on taking breaths correctly.
I noticed this is much easier to keep up earlier in my practice sections than near the end. As I get tired I tend to forget or ignore problems until later on when I realize that I start to sound bad and start biting too much. This is probably due to just natural fatigue, but it's something I need to keep working on. I can say I'm definitely willing to stop myself at least... A LOT... any time I noticed I was messed up I would stop and reset, then restart from a spot that seemed ok.
Of course, my willingness turns to frustration near the end of my practice sections when I get tired, but that's understandable and something I just need to suck up. I also believe I'm going in circles now, so enough
