7 Ways to Counter Negative Thoughts as a Musician

When you decided to become a musician and pursue music, what were your dreams?

Were there stages you imagined performing on? Or what about different artists that you would open for (or maybe they would open for you).

To be a successful musician, having creativity and imagination is essentially a must-have. Unfortunately, when it comes to these large dreams, you can also taste a large amount of disappointment.

Let's list some common struggles you, and many others, have no doubt suffered through:

  1. Low paying (or free) shows
  2. Expensive equipment and instruments
  3. Fixing damaged items
  4. Writer's block
  5. Hours of work on music that no one seems to appreciate
  6. Lack of presence in your own community

For a creative individual with big dreams, these occurrences can be quite crushing.

As these struggles may seem like a musician's "rite of passage" early on, as months (or years) go by, it is definitely enough to take the wind out of your sails.

However, this does not have to be the case.

There are enough depressing things in our life; our passion should not be one of them.

If you feel a connection to what we are discussing and have been feeling down lately, we strongly recommend you check out our list of 7 ways to counter these unhealthy thoughts and feelings and replace them with a healthy, and optimistic mindset.
