Being COMMITTED pays off

Hard work and discipline pays off! Man if you got anything that you want to go for…be all in! If you stay consistent at some point it will pay off^^ it sounds basic but it’s true man + ah and manifest that shit… which doesn’t mean that you can write it down and not actually work for it no… manifest what you want and then go do the work for it otherwise all that manifesting etc is for nothing. Your subconscious has to actually believe in it more than you might think🏃🏾

Consistency

doing something regularly keeps you sharp, and keeps the thing fresh in your mind so you’re thinking about what you wanna do / do differently the next time you’re practicing, and the easiest way to do that is to reduce friction however possible what’s worked for me in the past is (1) paid classes; the structure, communal environment, and losing money / losing face kept me going, which in turn kept me motivated and excited, and (2) routine collaboration; when i was fresh out of a paid class for DJing i talked to one of my friends who was interested in learning, and we agreed to meet every saturday morning by default to practice b2b unless we had a previous obligation, which kept us both excited, looking for new tracks, and freed us from the guilt of “when was the last time i practiced? when is the next time i’m gonna practice? should I even keep trying?” if it stays easy and fun, you’ll keep doing it, so you’ll stay motivated; it’s just about figuring out what you need to keep it easy and fun :)

Do everything with effort

If you don’t you will most likely not do as well as you expected/wanted to. You can do it!!

As a ghost:

To start—> I don’t want this to come off as trauma dumpy, I am v happy with the person Ive grown into. Who I wouldn’t be if I didn’t have these experiences:) I’ve moved around so so so much especially as a kid. I used to feel v guilty bc there were a lot of friends I left behind bc of circumstances beyond my control. This pattern became a trend that continued throughout my life. Went to 4 high schools; was going thru a lot, and was referred to as a ghost. Having someone you didn’t even realize knew who u were say “omg! It’s been a year! We thought you’d died, wow, how are you? Yk a lot of people tried to reach out…etc” completely changed my perspective on the world. I didn’t even realize the possibility I was really noticed outside of my immediate friend group. Another case happened this year at university. I was chatting w someone from a class, their friends walk up to say hi, and one says “your name is Sophia right?” I said yes and assumed I’d just met her while drunk at a show. So I apologized, and asked her name/ where she was from and all that jazz. It got more awkward when she said we went to the same school growing up, same class and everything. I didn’t recognize her at all, but obviously she knew me, it was so bizarre. Continued to see her around campus nearly every day for the rest of the year Lolz. It didnt all actualize for me until recently, and still makes my head spin. I can’t imagine how many people I unintentionally became a ghost to :// being perceived is crazyyyy

Give yourself Grace

In this regard, to what I like to call a funk. I feel très dookie. Lots of change in my life, and in times of instability I tend to fall off the horse- in a major way. Like many ppl. This past go round I have been excessively hard on myself over my general lacking in… well almost everything. Ive come to the conclusion that there are times you have to give yourself more grace than you’d like to. Maybe the pity party can last a couple more days than usual. I won’t go into details, bc as those of you reading who have dealt with mental health struggles, it can be sort of gross. Sure. There’s a ton I could be doing to put an end to my funk. Make more of an effort to dig myself out of the hole. But, at the end of the day I know I will come out of the funk in my own time. Faking myself out, and convincing myself I’m feeling better serves no one. Making yourself feel worse over feeling bad in the first place is just wildly counterproductive. Just keep moving forward in time. There’s a lot of it <3
