ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS WITH HELP
Last year, at 53, I started learning how to play guitar. It’s something that I’ve always wanted to do, but despite constantly telling my clients not to get in their own way, I’d been getting in mine for years. Telling myself that I was too old to learn an instrument and that I’d be terrible at it anyway.

Well, I’m still pretty terrible, but with each new chord learned, I feel a sense of achievement.

Can I write an article for your readers? Whether they want to learn a new language or a new instrument, I’ll offer guidance on how they can get out of their own way, tackle new skills, and achieve their goals. 

There are many amazing benefits to learning a new skill as an adult, including slowing cognitive aging and improving mental health. I hope my article will inspire your readers to keep learning and growing!

Thank you in advance!

I love percussion and rhythm. Here's a very cool video about how everything has a rhythm.
