Last Saturday I had a flute lesson - my teacher was going through one of my Grade 5 exam pieces, bit by bit! She recommended a practice strategy that involved breaking the music up into very small pieces, maybe playing one bar or one phrase or even just 3 notes at a time over and over again until I'd perfected that section before moving onto the next part. I have to start off playing slowly then as I get used to the notes, speed it up until I can play the piece at full speed!
As I was practicing I began to think that losing weight should be like this. Taking time to set goals, but not too many at a time and working on those goals firstly until they are reached before working on the next one! Then if the weight drops off just a pound or even half a pound at a time does it really matter because it's not quantity (speed) it's quality (reaching our final goal weight)?
Each note on it's own seems insignificant but when put together in perfect harmony, creates a piece of music to calm and delight the soul!
