Here I am, playing quietly so I don’t wake the kids up!

❤️❤️❤️❤️Hi Tribers! I was just talking to my friend Sarah on how we are grounding ourselves on the daily and wanted to share with you! I found that I ground myself in several different ways daily… to just keep it together. But for me, grounding is not sufficient, I also need to tune myself - like a music instrument! I ground myself through hiking and doing yoga, dancing and touching plants - often that’s gardening. I tune myself when I play music - childlike! Just play for the sake of playing. It doesn’t need to be good or accurate or perfect or nothing. Is just is. Childlike. Like a child playing in the sand at the beach. Like F’ck around and find out type. I call this “Joy Zone” as many of you know who have been here for a while and that’s the main focus in this group… Learning comes secondary. As a byproduct… Cuz the purpose of music is to entertain and bring joy. Learning is always after that… Do you ground yourself daily? Do you also need “tuning” in the joy zone like a music instrument like I do? ❤️❤️❤️

I tried listening to the first few measures of "Remember When" to get used to the right hand melody. I listened on a loop using ear buds while I played on the piano. I'm sure @Rositsa Aleksandrova and @Justin Love will be impressed!
