The Mental Game

Below are a few principles of self-management for music success. This was taken from an article by Henry Brunton. www.henrybrunton.com I’ve adapted it for music.

Performance, expectations, reinforcement, motivation, energy, effort, self confidence, commitment, decision.

1. Performance and execution is of course the key. Consider yourself accountable for your results and your performance.
2. Your expectations dictate your performance. You get what you expect.
3. Establish and keep good habits.
4. Motivation is 90% pull and 10% push.
5. Maximize your return on energy by establishing your commitments, setting priorities, and managing your energy within these commitment areas.
6. Manage your efforts. As Henry says “there is only one way to get from objectives to results-Effort”
7. Manage your self-confidence. Because expectations determine performance managing your self-confidence determines your expectations.
8. Commitment: changing “I should” to “I will”, and set a timetable.
9. Get busy. Put your energy into doing it, not thinking about doing it.

Cheers,

David
