What are you doing to improve yourself?
Frank (fiacovaz) was discussing in the "Is it Me or...?" thread in General Drum Chat something he's doing this summer to improve himself. In his case, he's taking Italian lessons!
He hinted that it might make a good thread, so, Frank, grazie for giving us the idea...
It can be anything from improving your health to learning a new language...and everything in between!
Take it and run with it!
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!

Re: What are you doing to improve yourself?
I have type two diabetes so I am getting fit and excersizing so that I can get off of the meds. Plus I just feel better by doing it.
Re: What are you doing to improve yourself?
Great thread idea BB.
I am constantly trying to better myself. It's something that I strongly believe in. Lately I quit sodas altogether. I'm also exercising more. I'm also spending more time praying and I make more of an effort to engage in helpful, spiritually uplifting books. It is important to keep yourself immersed in goodness. It helps stave off the bad of the world that sometimes sneaks into us without us knowing it. I liken it to pulling the weeds out of the garden. If you don't tend to the garden, it will be overtaken with weeds. You don't see them coming, you just wake up one day and they're there.
Re: What are you doing to improve yourself?
Great saying!
I am going to more effort in my music. That includes my estranged bass. It's been at least 5 years since I actually set up a routine. It's usually practice on stage. More dedication to my drum pad. I am taking it to work today. It's been slow and I get tired of doing nothing.
Re: What are you doing to improve yourself?
I've been trying meditate more, but it is very hard to find the time. It helps my overall outlook on life and makes me a tighter drummer too, believe it or not.
BTW, it doesn't have to be used for religion; COMPLETELY clearing your mind of all thoughts and inner or outer distrations for 10 minutes or so can really 'tune up' the brain.
I'm also trying hard to spend as much quality time as I can with my wife & 20 month old daughter.
Any major dude will tell you...

I'm still trying to catch up on all the post on DRUMCHAT.
That's a good thing, right?

Re: What are you doing to improve yourself?
SDS--Good thinking, especially the last part, man!I'm learning how to play drums and the congas.
One thing I'm working on is to have a more positive outlook on things. I'm one of these guys who sees the glass of water and sees it as half-empty (ironic since I'm one of the guys who's always ready to cheer on a brother or sister drummer)...but the trick is, at least for me, to remember that while change is inevitable, it is also not something to fear...and that's half the battle in itself!

Bongo, you speak like an avant guard (sp) philosopher.
