The first thing to think about is that you are fulfilling a once-a-year Mitzvah!
One of the great rabbis explains that the sound of the Shofar is the "voice" that is deep, deep within us that expresses the emotions within our heart that cannot be expressed in words. In effect the Shofar is letting us connect to God in a way that we cannot do otherwise - not even through the words of the prayers we recite on Rosh Hashana.
May you have a good, sweet and "harmonious" New Year!
