I like to occasionally do that thing where you pull the mouthpiece out of the horn as you’re playing to make sure your lips aren’t buzzing (low C, G on the staff) / that things are open / relaxed.

Had a mixed practice session tonight. I don’t think my head was quite right again. Going to try to take tomorrow really easy and focus on better session this weekend with some structure.

Realized I was overblowing as well–I’ve been clamping and overblowing. This happened to me before; once I re-focused on the PROCESS (basics), the RESULTS started coming back and I found my way again / started progressing further than before, having more consistent sensations.
