Studio Teacher Thanksgiving: Day 4

Hello, Studio Teacher Friends! Welcome to DAY FOUR of Studio Teacher Thanksgiving. 🥂

Today's email is serving "double-duty" as a stand-in for my usual One Thought Thursday.

Feeling Inbox Overwhelm? Click here to OPT-OUT of this week's Studio Teacher Thanksgiving emails.
You'll still receive One Thought Thursdays.

The video, above, introduces our fourth point of gratitude for the week.

Today we talk about gratitude for the wealth of opportunities available to us as musicians, teachers, and generally-good-human-beings.

You can also go share in the Facebook Group about it!

To continue in the spirit of this month's One Thought Thursday reflections, today I'm asking: What's something you said YES to this year that maybe should have been a NO?

I don't ask this question to shake my finger-of-blame at you. On the contrary, it's important to take note of the SPECIFICS around these situations.

Many of us reading this know the path to over-commitment is an easy one to find. Rather than saying, "I always take on too much" and dismissing yourself as a lost cause, I think it's important to track the things that cost you more than intended.

SO friends: that's the question. Last week we chatted about our BEST yesses; what about our (for lack of a better term) worst yesses of 2023?

I shared mine in the video below, and now it's your turn. Hit that reply button (or head to the Facebook Group!) and tell me: What YES from this year should have been a NO?

Again - don't get caught up in regret; simply name it and move on. There's no shame in living and learning. In fact, that's kind of the point of life, right?

I'll see you again tomorrow for Day FIVE!

Late to the party?

A Favorite Thing

I've been doing some serious cleanout of my studio and office this week. I continue to get such joy out of housing my teaching trinkets, card games, and more in these brightly-colored containers.
