often encounters difficulties when practicing piano.
Sometimes when we face these difficulties, we do not always maintain an optimistic and positive attitude to deal with them due to various reasons such as our current level, so negative emotions will appear.
This is a normal thing, but if we want to continue to "learning the piano" in our "road to learn piano" and if our performance skills continue to improve, we must adjust our emotions and eliminate those negative emotions that have already arisen.
Today Wan and Luo share with you two ways to eliminate negative emotions.
Before introducing the method, let me introduce a new word - "meta-emotion".
Some of our friends may have heard of the word "metacognition", that is, the cognition of cognition, that is, "monitoring" one's own cognition.
Then "metaemotion" is the control of one's own emotions, that is, "monitoring" one's own emotions.
In the book "The Bonus of Willpower", there is a more detailed explanation:
"The so-called meta-emotion is to 'take a step back', stand in a higher dimension to monitor and regulate the entire emotional process, that is, to remain aware of the entire emotional process, and ultimately achieve effective management of emotions."
Therefore, we must "activate" our "meta-emotion" in order to completely get rid of the influence of negative emotions and practice daily with more stable emotions. The two methods below
are to teach everyone how to "activate" their "meta-emotion" and how to improve their awareness.
1. Stop practicing piano for the time being, try to "empty" yourself
During the piano practice, when we realize that we have negative emotions, we might as well stop practicing first.
After stopping, what should the piano learners do? What you do is not that important. What is important is to "retrieve" yourself from your negative emotions.
You can get up and move, close your eyes and sit quietly for a while, or you can think about how you have bad emotions? It is very good to find the reason for
, and you don’t have to blame yourself if you can’t find it. After all, these are not important, because we have completed the most important step.
is the ability to stop practicing and make yourself realize that you have negative emotions, that is, the ability to "meta-emotional" ability.
"Metaemotion" is like this, allowing the piano learners to quickly enter the "third perspective" from the "first perspective" and use self-control to restrain them.
When the piano learner can "examine" his negative emotions from the "third perspective", he can easily find the cause of it and gradually correct it.
2. If possible, keep your own record of piano practice
The record of any form or content that the piano learner makes during practice is to record piano practice. You can record the piano practice records on the music score, or you can prepare a book "Practice Notes".
As long as it is helpful for your own exercises, the recorded content can be as free as possible. For example, when practicing piano, you can record the degree of progress and the reasons for progress.
does not just record things that you are satisfied with. When you encounter a "bottleneck", you cannot solve it, or you may regress, you can record your performance and reasons.
In short, it is best to develop the habit of recording at any time during the exercise or at the end of the contact.
When the piano learner is affected by his negative emotions and seriously interferes with the progress of the practice, he can record this psychological feeling.
In fact, during the recording process, the "meta-emotion" of the piano learner will be "activated", so a lot of thoughts will be generated and a lot of content will be remembered.
For example, what is my mood now? Why do you feel like this? Do I need to adjust my practice? How to adjust, etc...
may not only calm down after the recording is completed, the piano learner not only calms down his emotions, but also comes up with solutions.
