Always enjoy sitting in a corner with a coffee and reading SCL's magazine (the Score) when it arrives. Something relaxing when reading hard copy at times 😏

Hi all.
I got an email today from Alicia from Cinematic Composers, the body of which struck me as something I thought was worth sharing ..... because self-sabotaging beliefs plays a big part in restricting people reaching closer to their goals and dreams- and her answer resonated with some of the advice I give people I mentor in the music industry.

So leaving out some of the promo stuff .....I hope this helps you if in that position.

"Hi Cinematic Composers,

Self-sabotaging beliefs.
I know firsthand what self-sabotage means. I always thought…
I don’t have enough talent
I’m not smart enough
I don’t have enough time
I don’t have enough money
I’m not special enough to be able to make an impact in the world
…
And that’s how I was denying day after day, month after month, and year after year my true self and my passion.
The truth is that I was so AFRAID TO FAIL that I didn’t want to even start any real and committed journey towards my passion for writing.
And SUBCONSCIOUSLY, my mind created these self-sabotaging beliefs to support that fear and protect me from feeling the potential pain of failure.
Yes! Subconsciously! We're self-sabotaging ourselves and we don't even realize it's happening!
BUT I know now that everything changes when you TAKE ACTION, even if that action is small.
At least that’s what worked for me back in 2012 when I decided for the first time in my life to put in public my writing by starting a blog and committing to writing once a week.
I did that for 5 years.
My blog became a reference in the world of sustainable fashion and slow lifestyle in Spain, and I discovered along the way who I really was and my unique voice.
And, I understood that the best way to interrupt the hurting pattern of sabotaging yourself is to…
Go ahead and DO IT even if it SCARES YOU A LOT!
I have lots of sentences written down with a permanent marker on my wooden IKEA office desk – so I don’t forget who I really am in those moments when self-sabotaging beliefs lurk around – and one of them says:
“The obstacle is the way”.

I don’t know exactly who said this quote, but it has so much power in it that when I heard it a few years ago, I directly wrote it down to make sure I remembered it.
It’s true. When you’re confronting your obstacles, whether they’re internal or external, big or small, you’re moving towards your goals.

Let's face it. This is a Hero's Journey. It's bright on the other side and you'll get there being a completely new person. But you have to face some fears and obstacles. 😊
Understanding that the OBSTACLES are there FOR YOU and not AGAINST YOU, allows you to advance in your life and your career like never before.
It becomes a HABIT proving your self-sabotaging beliefs wrong…
And the more frequently you do it, the stronger it becomes that SELF-CONFIDENCE muscle that you train day after day.
You become a person that is comfortable doing the uncomfortable and reaching for greatness in your life and career.
Because you understand the power of your fears and how you can work WITH THEM to guide you in this journey of life.
If you are ready to start listening to your FEARS and act towards them, TAKE ACTION."

If that resonates with you, I hope the advice helps. If you dont know what action to take, let us or someone else help you .... so you can get to where you are meant to be in your musical journey.
