Things that worked before may suddenly stop working. Even though I'm practicing, I can't improve. I'm thinking about it, but I can't find an answer. Such a state is sometimes called a slump.
A slump is not always proof that you are failing. It can also mean you are about to change how you grow.
reconsider the same method
When you're in a slump, don't just increase the amount of effort you're trying to do, but also reevaluate the way you're doing it. Keep your practice short, have someone watch it, take a break and watch it again. Sometimes you need another method.
Back to small successes
If you stop at a difficult point, you can go back to the previous easier point. Once you regain the sense of what you can do, it becomes easier to move forward again.
Choose one thing that makes you feel slumped and ask yourself, "If you could do one thing differently, what would it be?"
At Digital Kodomo BASE, we will review the way we do things together when we stop. A slump may not be the end, but a sign before moving on to the next level.
