Dealing with Anxiety (SAX POV)

Hi, my name is Ife and I have a confession to make, well its not really a secret, I mean its the title of this blog post

I deal with anxiety in my sax life ..ok I said it

Being able to talk about my anxiety in my #saxlife is really helpful but we all know that talking about it is one thing and actually doing something about it is a whole different level.

I’ve been a lover of Music since I was 11, I loved writing songs and stories but being different and addressed as “weird” or “dramatic” and that kinda, actually not kinda, I took the backseat in my music life

My Anxiety is the Classic #NotEnough scenario, and it’s really annoying because I hear that voice at the back of my freaking head but nope I just had to second guess myself.

But as the days go by, I fall more and more in love with myself and what I do and also talking to the right person.it really helped me get my confidence on track and just be happy with everything I do

Let your standpoint be growth

Your first YouTube video is gonna suck

really bad

but its gonna get better if you let it

Dont be that guy that only makes rice and stew every single day…..nooooo

Be that person that had growth

I had to surround myself with the right set of people, even family. Dont go to your small minded uncle that thinks you should only be a Doctor for advice when you clearly want to be a musician.

And ok let’s define friends. Any friend that doesnt support you is not your friend

Now you guys can be hi- hey friends but just clear the negativity. This I had to learn by a term I love Debunking.

One thing that helps my mental state and just my being is listening to music and writing. Cooking is a great stress reliever.

I started working out ( that’s all I have to say really)

Take one day at a time

you got this ok
