Yet I still practice every day. And: every second I play I stay away from my $%^& phone shop.christophniemann.com/collections/...

Things I’ve tried as an antidote for today: 1. Doing something creative. The best revenge is good art! But that didn’t work. Too distracted. Stared at the wall. 2. Getting some exercise. Take care of what you can take care of, even if that’s just you! Okay that actually felt good. Recommended.
