What are some tricks and tips that you use to keep yourself motivated to keep playing your guitar?

When it’s maintenance time what’s your preference? Luthier do all the repairs/maintenance or do you diy it? I prefer the luthier to a lot of the stuff but I’ll restring/tune my own bass.

What are some tips and tricks for beginners to gain confidence in their playing? For me I used to throw it to the wind and play at the public park, venues that allowed and let people know I was a beginner, etc. It was scary an nerve wracking but it helped build confidence and even when mistakes were made I kept going.

Due to my recent injuries in my hands from the auto accident, I’ve been wondering what do all of you do to loosen up strengthen and work with your hands or fingers when you’re not playing guitar to make them better? Give me some ideas of things I can do to help restrengthen my fingers. I tried playing three songs today and they hurt worse than I’ve ever experienced playing guitar!
