Sunday the 25th of August 2024 and the title of today's reflection is going to be The Beginning. I guess this is really and truthfully the beginning of shifting my mindset to a certain extent. I'm not entirely certain if there's anything that's changed in the air because I'm not
particularly eating differently, I'm not sleeping more, I'm not doing anything fancy, I'm not doing anything different. However, I'm slowly but surely beginning to realize that,
like, you know, there's an expression that people use, I believe the expression goes something along the lines of like, you know, the water is warm, in the sense of like, you know, you're invited, you can go ahead and, you know, my home is your home, or like, you know, whatever is mine is yours type of thing.
And I'm speaking metaphorically in all of this sense, I'm kind of being vague as per usual but I'm saying all of this stuff to effectively say there is nothing holding me back. There is nothing holding me back from effectively acting out on these tiny little decisions, getting back to people's messages for example, putting my music out there, continuing to promote the music that I do already have out there and effectively just kind of like talking to people as though like
I've known them all my life. Like there's something that has effectively happened within my mindset and I'm not sure what it is that has effectively kind of like put me in a position where I'm moving a lot quicker than I thought you know that than I thought possible. Like the things that I guess were holding me back in the beginning were like the preconceived notions and thoughts that I would have before I would do something. Let's say for example
I want to reply to somebody's message and for some reason I used to think that I would have to go through this kind of like complex thought process before I decided to message somebody. I would think about how I need to make sure I come across authentic, I need to make sure that I don't come across needy, that I don't come across begging or whatever it is. But when really and truly I should just message the person like I know that that this is one of the weird things that fascinate me deeply about
just becoming you know you know just it's something that really fascinates me about I wouldn't say it's personal development but it's just kind of like the way that we think or how we do have how our core beliefs effectively like limit our actions to a certain degree. Because like honestly, like I genuinely used to worry so much about sending somebody a message, somebody that I've never met before or somebody that I don't really have a great, like you know, the warmest
relationship with, I would have all of these worrisome thoughts, so much so to the point that I would self-sabotage myself from messaging them. Where now, like all of a sudden, it's kind of like well you know what what the hell am I doing? I just need to just basically send messages out all day, every day, and as long as it takes just to make sure I get the ball rolling when it comes to my career.
And it's just, it's fascinating how it was those thoughts and it was those habits that were effectively holding me back because now it feels as though I'm firing off on all cylinders. And I guess only time will tell when it comes to figuring out just where this mindset shift is gonna take me.
