I have taken up meditation at long last. And the very first thing I noticed while watching my mind was this: the voice in my head that tells me I'm great is the very same one that tells me I'm dreadful. This has been a special thing to recognize.
The other thing I noticed is that meditation is mentally almost identical to practicing music. Only before, I didn't realize that I was allowed to quiet or ignore my thoughts, so sometimes they just ran over me and I had to take a break. I thought that finding "the zone" was more a matter of luck, but it's a skill! So hooray for that.

If you think you can, you often can. If you think you can't, you're right.
Your groove works like that too.
Emily your Seattle Sojourn blog is great -- I hope you keep posting even though you moved!
