Very useful information on errors from The Musician's Way: A Guide to Practice, Performance, and Wellness by Gerald Klickstein.

1. Errors are not failures.


2. Errors are not shameful.


3. Errors are information.

Information- this is objective stance that a musician needs to cultivate so that errors do not undermine one's creativity and ability to perform. I am still working on this.
