Every once in a while you need a break. You need some down-time to decompress, to let go of the hopes, ambitions, fears, pressures, to-do lists, and anxieties that can accompany any serious pursuit.
Of course we’re thinking about this now because of the Holiday season, but burnout can happen at any time. Whenever the scales tip too far in the direction of stress, burden, hollow effort, and tedious rigmarole, it is time to take a rest.
So if you’ve got a little vacation coming up, some time planned with the family, or just need a different adventure, do it! Put the computer and headphones away. Get offline. Set down the guitar. Don’t touch the piano keys. Hide your drumsticks.
Relax! Refresh! Renew!
When you come back to the music, you’ll feel a sense of joy again, and that can only make your music better.
Hope y’all have a very very happy Holiday season.
