I've posted articles by this person before, but thought I'd post this one, too.
The Self-Evaluation Bias: Do We Really Sound as Bad as We Sometimes Think We Do?
http://www.bulletproofmusician.com/self-evaluation-bias-really-sound-bad-sometimes-think/
I got a laugh out of these lines:
"The great violinist Jascha Heifetz once remarked1 that we should always be happy when performing. After all, if things are going well, we should be happy that we’re having a good day. And if things are going badly, each note we play gets us closer to the end, so we should be happy about that too."
And:
"As Mark Twain once said, “I’ve lived through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened.”
But, it was an interesting article on evaluating ourselves.
I don't perform for others, but still think it's helpful.
