The hustle usually means we’re mentally living in the past, or in the future, or completely distracted by our own thoughts. Never really noticing what’s in front of us or how we feel, just the endless to-do list. What if there was a different way?

What if you decided one day that you were not going to allow your stage fright to take centre stage any more? What if you allowed confidence to take its place instead? What would happen? In getting you to imagine yourself singing confidently, you allow a tiny bit of permission to sneak through.

We’re not always directly taught to believe in ourselves, which leads to the creation of the Inner Critic as 'protector'. But left to its own devices, your inner critic will crush your confidence with the aim of 'protecting' you from harm. The protector has become the oppressor.
