I set a reasonable goal (pretty pathetic too) of standing about a foot away from the can. I made it and I felt good, I tried it from farther away and I didn't make it. I was kinda bummed and it killed my confidence. I blamed myself for the failure. I think that if I had taken smaller steps back (i.e. if I had taken a shot for every foot I took back), I would have had more success and been more motivated to try. I have had tons of experience with this as a flute player. I have a performance anxiety problem, so I deal with trying to motivate my self intrinsically so I have a better shot at playing.
