(Case Study) The Misaligned Musician: Subconscious Sabotage

Jul 03, 2024

Case Study: The Misaligned Musician

Scenario: Tom, a naturally gifted musician, felt an intrinsic pull towards music. However, he grew up in a family that valued practical, secure careers over creative pursuits.

Subconscious Belief: Tom internalised the belief that pursuing music was impractical and risky. His family often discouraged his musical interests, emphasising the need for a stable job.

Manifestation of Self-Sabotage:

  • Procrastination: Tom often delayed practising or performing, feeling it was a waste of time.

  • Over-Rationalisation: He continually sought reasons to justify abandoning his musical ambitions in favour of more 'practical' careers.

  • Self-Doubt: Whenever he did engage with music, he was plagued by feelings of inadequacy and fear of failure.

Key Insight: "Subconscious fear or negativity in relation to a conscious goal will alter your behaviour and therefore your results."

Understanding the Conflict: The subconscious mind is a powerful force that drives your behaviour without you even realising it. Recognising patterns of self-sabotaging behaviours and understanding that these patterns are driven by underlying subconscious beliefs is key. When subconscious fears or negative beliefs conflict with your conscious goals, it leads to self-sabotaging behaviours.
