Have you noticed your mind has negative tracks it likes to play over and over again? It’s time to overcome self-doubt and anxiety by treating our minds like an old-school mixtape or a modern playlist. Then we can consciously overwrite those negative thoughts with new, empowering songs!

Hello dear soul, and welcome back to the Lightbearer's Library. If, like me, you’ve been caught in a loop of “I’m not enough” or “I’m not ready,” you are likely playing an old, scratchy mental mixtape of inherited lies. As INFPs or INFJs, these subtle background stories can trigger deep anxiety and make us feel small and uncertain.

In this journal entry, I explore how to reclaim our agency and realize that we deserve better stories. We can use journaling to identify these "shitty tracks," and begin the process of replacing them with more meaningful narratives.

I share my own journey with self-doubt as a creator and how your lovely comments keep me grounded in my purpose. Whether you are an introvert struggling with visibility or a creative facing a block, it’s time to be brave and record a new song of self-trust.

✨ I would love to hear from you! What is one track of self-doubt you are going to record over today? And what will you replace it with?

🌿 About Kate Harmony 🌿

My main channel (Hack Music Theory) has over 250K subscribers and 10 million views. I've been a full-time YouTuber since 2017 and launched this personal channel (Lightbearer's Library) in 2025, where I'm making video versions of my journal entries.

Some of my favourite topics to talk about are practical philosophy, positive psychology, and personality type (I'm an INFP). But honestly, my journals contain counter-cultural thoughts about everything, so expect the unexpected! I also share practical ways I'm improving my mental health, with the hope that you might find them useful too.

I deleted all my social media accounts over 10 years ago, so I offer a loving perspective that's free from the divisive language commonly found in feeds nowadays.

If this sounds like your cup of tea, then I warmly welcome you into the Lightbearer's Library. Stay for a while, and please remember to subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV2wps4NID9rrO08OuwZ5Lg?sub_confirmation=1
