A glimpse of an intimate therapy session I had with myself, in music format 🎶

As much as I mostly like to use music to inspire, sometimes I like to use it to process my thoughts & emotions 💭

I find that taking the time to sit with my thoughts and write them out at times where I feel a build up of negative emotions helps me process them & move forward lighter & with more clarity 👁️

Sometimes you can feel low for days, months or even years & you think it’s because of how someone has made you feel…

In reality, a lot of the times that prolonged pain stems not from the emotion, but from the fact that you haven’t processed the emotion & situation properly 📝

If you feel you’ve got a lot of built up negativity inside you right now, I encourage you to take the time to process it 🧘🏾‍♂️

& no you don’t have to be the best rapper in the world like me in order to do so, don’t you worry

Take a pen & paper or the notes on your phone & just write ✍️

It just so happens that I have a passion for making music & have done for over a decade so I tend to like doing this in rap format 🎤

But you could even do a video - I’ve done that too. Hop on the camera & just talk 🗣️

You don’t have to share it with the world, you can even delete it after 🗑️

It’s the process of introspection that makes the difference 🔑

Try it & watch how much better you get at regulating your emotions ✅

With that being said, it’s the first of the month which means the full song is out now 👀

Drop “DOORMAT” in the comments & I’ll make sure you have access if you want to hear it 📥

P.S. I know most of my content has been music based lately, but for everyone who’s less interested in music & wants more business & personal development videos, they’re coming dw

Been behind the scenes making a bunch of content, working with clients & building trainings for clients & haven’t been too active on here (& on DMs so if I haven’t replied to your DMs over the past few months, it’s not personal)

But the vision is to share more of a variety of content with a personal development focus that you’ll be able to get value from whether you’re into coaching or you have other ambitions in life, wait on it ⏳ by @therealshailamar

This freestyle is from around 3-4 years ago when I was stuck in a mental rut 😤

A little bit before I wrote it, I was in a state where I was probably the least focused and driven I had ever been 😴

I recorded this video yesterday & it was such a blessing seeing how far I’ve come since I wrote it 🤞🏽

Not only in terms of progressing in business etc, but even my levels of execution 🎯

For example, yesterday alone, on top of recording this video, I recorded 9 trainings for my clients, ran 2 coaching calls, built a funnel for one of my clients, went to the gym & more 🏃‍♂️

But just 3-4 years ago, I didn’t have the energy to do any of this 🥱

I was living like an NPC 🤖

I’d wake up and go through the week on autopilot without focusing on anything productive 🤦🏽‍♂️

I knew what I needed to do but I had reached a state where I allowed laziness & apathy to take over 😒

Wasn’t working out, was hardly working on business & I was barely working on myself.

All in all, I was being a waste of space 😮‍💨

Around that time, I was basically just watching movies all day, all week, all month 🍿

I ending up watching a movie that got me thinking deep 💭

The movie was called 12 years a slave, you seen it? Highly recommend if you haven’t 🫡

Anyways, it got me thinking & that’s part of what led to me starting to take my life more seriously 💪🏽

That’s when I wrote this freestyle, around 3-4 years ago 📅

The concepts I spoke about here really helped me get out of a rut 🚀

I hope that if you’ve been wasting a lot of time & being ungrateful for what you have, hearing this freestyle will help you snap out of that too 🤟🏽

Since my album is coming out on Friday, I thought I’d re-record this old freestyle for y’all to take in while you wait 🎶

The album is called Destined For Greatness & will be FILLED with music that will inspire you to achieve more than you ever thought was possible 💎

Can you really trust her?

Or is she just a part time lover?

Through the dark times, would she be fast to leave you suffering?

Last night thinking to myself like, “there’s so many girls right, but it’s hard to put my trust in them”

Tussling with thoughts in my mind steady rustling

I’m wondering, would you let him slide, or are you brushing him?

Not fussing it, but if you cross that line then you fumbled quick 🚫

I’m done with it.

Now I’ve grown, know I’m no longer rushing in to call a lady my girl

‘Cause in the past I’ve been crazy and fell for the words that they tell me

Maybe they believe it themselves?

They’re deceiving so well, this ain’t feeling so healthy

I feel to let the evil prevail
Be a demon as well
But see, that’s not the real me

I really wanna be
Doing all these good deeds
For a lady I can see me marrying, yeah that compels me

On the other hand, I don’t know if I can keep being
The loverboi I am ‘cause these women giving me reasons
To follow other plans with a different girl, different evening

Is that who I am? I don’t think so man, I’m just speaking

Finally got my licence & then wrote off the whip a few weeks later 🤣

I guess when I said “I should have been driving” in my new song, I was wrong 🤷🏽‍♂️

Dw though, my newly fitted interior LED lights were still fully functional so I was able to admire the aesthetics after the crash 💯

It was an extra reminder to me that every day living is really a W though

Because all jokes aside, I could have been dead right now but I’m actually gooood

But it’s like, how many days are we going through passively not consciously acknowledging the fact that we’re blessed?

For most of us, there have probably been situations where if things went slightly differently, we wouldn’t be around to tell the tale

But you’re here. I’m here. We’re here & life is a blessing.

So the next time you complain about how long your journey is, instead be grateful that you’re able to make that journey

The next time you’re stressing about how much work you have to do, flip that stress into gratitude for the fact that you’re able to do that work

The next time you’re feeling like you can’t be bothered to go to the gym, think about how many people dream of the opportunity to have access to a safe space to work out

Shift your thinking & you’ll shift your life

& remember, every new day is a new opportunity to find new things to be grateful for

For example, today rather than being sad about how uninspiring and degenerate a lot of popular music is nowadays,

Be grateful that @TheRealShaiLamar just dropped a NEW SONG called “DO IT THIS YEAR” & that you have the ability to listen to it

How? Search “Shai Lamar Do It This Year” on your fav streaming platform or check my bio for a link 🔗

October 2025 was the month I had been waiting for for nearly 10 years, & I didn’t even realise…

I achieved a MAJOR MILESTONE I had been dreaming of since I was about 17

I could have cried tbh but I’m a big boy now, I only cry when I’m watching Stranger Things

Picture that for a moment, that’s about 9 years in the making.

9 years of mistakes, failures and lessons that led me to that point 💭

The crazy thing is, a few weeks before I did it, towards the start of October, I went though a breakup with a lady who this time last year I thought would be the one I’d choose to marry

I was wrong about that 🤷🏽‍♂️

Buuut I was right about the fact that I’m gifted with a purpose & I can do anything I set my mind to 🫡

& last month solidified that for me even more

Sometimes we as people have the tendency to let minor things get to us way too much

We go through something tough like a break up for example and we use that as a reason to slow down on our mission and take our foot off the gas🚶🏽‍♂️

But what if we were able to recognise the opportunity in the challenge?

What if we were able to recognise the blessings around us amongst the things we deem unfavourable? 🔍

Most people are so good at finding the bad in life that they don’t even have room to see the goodness in front of them 😔

In fact, even with the breakup, last month was my favourite month of the year 😎

Obviously, there’s that personal milestone I mentioned, along with the fact that overall I’ve been more focused than I’ve been all year, but it’s not just that…

My brudddah @natebelit_ shared some amazing news with me in terms of recent milestones he’s hit too & I’m hella proud & inspired (p.s. check out @majesticessences if you wanna know how I be smelling majestic)🫡💙

Alsooo one of my daawgs had a cancer surgery that we were worried about and it now SHE’S OFFICIALLY CANCER FREE @itstaytaybaybee ❤️🔥

Anddd 1 of my favourite people FINALLY officially got the gf title (I was waiting on this to happen for MONTHSSSS so I was & still am ECSTATIC about it, they’re literally perfect for each other so it’s a blessing to see things moving forward) ❤️

It’s my birthday today 🕺🏽

When I turned 25 last year, I had all of these goals I wanted to hit 💭

And as I look at that list of the things I wanted to do by now, I realise there’s a lot I didn’t accomplish…

🏎️ I didn’t get my driving licence (I actually failed my test at the start of the month)

📈 There were income & investment goals I wanted to hit by 26 that I didn’t end up getting done

❤️ There were things I wanted to do for the people I love that didn’t get ticked off

🏋🏽‍♂️ There were some gym targets I missed the mark on, and more…

It’s easy to think “oh let me not be so hard on myself, I had xyz excuse, it’s understandable”

But the truth is, sometimes being too soft on yourself is exactly what keeps you falling behind of where you want to be.

Sometimes you have to feel that disappointment in yourself & channel that energy as fuel to get what you want, or you’ll never get it.

I’m disappointed in myself because I know I can do better.

& I know that any setbacks are just setting me up for an even better future

With that being said, that disappointment isn’t attached to self-hatred - that’s where it can get unhealthy

There’s a difference between self-hatred & self-awareness.

While I know I could have done better & I’m going to push myself further this year, I’m also proud of myself in other ways

Because there were some things on my list that I did complete & internal growth that I went through that has made me a better man

I moved forwards overall, but this year I want to make sure I move forward further & with more intention & less complacency

I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to share a bunch of beautiful & cool experiences with people I love

I’m grateful for the challenges that have developed me

I’m grateful for being blessed with good health

I’m grateful for the opportunity to live peacefully

I’m grateful for self-awareness and emotional intelligence

I’m grateful for the real ones in my life 💚❤️💙♥️💞

Now it’s time to show the world what I’m made of 🤞🏽

Here’s to a year of abundance, love, peace & prosperity 🍾 (btw that’s a sparkling water bottle, cheeers)

P.S. thank you for reading. Enjoy the slideshow ◡̈ by @therealshailamar

If you’re anxious about working out, or anything else for that matter, a simple reframe of the way you think may be all you need to go out and get it

What is anxiety, really?

Here’s the official definition:

“a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease about something with an uncertain outcome”

It stands to reason that if you’re anxious, you’re expecting a negative outcome

Because you probably wouldn’t be worried if you expected a positive one, right?

You’d be excited

But that event that you’re worried about hasn’t even happened yet

So to be fearful of the outcome does nothing for you, especially if that fear holds you back from moving forwards in the direction you know you need to

What if you switched that belief and rather than expecting a negative, you expected the best?

What if rather than thinking that you’ll look silly in the gym or that people will laugh at you for chasing your goals, you thought that people would support you & encourage you?

Neither has happened yet, but if you expect the positive, 2 things:

1. You’ll tend to actually perform better

2. You attract what you focus on. This isn’t just some random spiritual saying, it’s a scientific fact, and I’ll explain this with biology in a future video

So all in all, believing in the positive outcome serves you waaay more than believing in the negative

In most cases at least. Don’t go jumping off a bridge and write in your will that you were inspired by that caption by @therealshailamar that told you to overcome your fears

I will not be liable

Lazy, unhealthy, tired & uninspired 😴

That’s how I felt a few years ago.

I hated myself 😤

& this was evident through my choices to self-destruct with bad habits that were destroying me from the inside out.

🍕 Feeling empty, I’d resort to junk food, hoping it’d fill some of that emptiness, even if it was just for the moment.

But all it did was drain my energy even more & leave me feeling even more disappointed in myself 🤦🏽‍♂️

😔 Somewhere deep down, I knew I wanted more out of life but I felt like I was failing in all areas

At this time, I promised myself that if I ever made it out of that slump, I’d make it my mission to help people become the best versions of themselves🤞🏽

You can expect more content from me going forward that will inspire you to become the best version of yourself 💯 taken in Rhodes - Greece by @therealshailamar
