Listen Later

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why your current beliefs—not your ability—might be the real reason behind lack of motivation or progress
  • How to spot the subtle thoughts that quietly shape your practice habits and performance results
  • A powerful mindset shift that helps musicians move from self-doubt to self-trust
  • The truth about where limiting beliefs come from—and how to start letting them go
  • The difference between repeating affirmations and actually practicing belief
  • How to use "bridge thoughts" to shift your mindset when a positive belief still feels out of reach
  • A step-by-step exercise to anchor your new identity as a focused, confident performer
  • Why sometimes you have to "be before you believe"—and how to start doing that today

If you've been feeling stuck, distracted, or not quite like yourself in the practice room, this episode will help you uncover what's really going on—and give you the tools to shift it.
