Anybody know how to give oneself motivation? I find that I'm struggling with that, especially with guitar practice. I have a "gig" (I use the term loosely) coming up on Saturday, and I haven't practiced once this week. I just don't feel like it, and I don't know why.

The worst part about this is that I'm beating myself up over not practicing. That, in turn, makes me want to practice even less. I know it makes no sense. I do know that I've practiced less in a year than some people practice in a week. I shouldn't compare myself to others, but I subconsciously do it anyway.

So, does anyone have any tips on self-motivation and self-improvement? It doesn't have to relate to guitar practice; it could be self-motivation for anything. I'd really appreciate some advice. Thanks.
