Ep 19. Dissolve your creative doubts

In this episode:

Are you an artist, someone who wants to be creative,  but sometimes you ask: what’s the point? Maybe you are creating for the sake of creating (you are not a professional yet, who makes a living making art),  maybe you are just thinking and overthinking about it, but not much art gets done from this thinking. If you doubt yourself and question “why bother” I hope this episode will help you stop it.

Main points:

• Many people make crap, and they are proud of it, but you still struggle to believe in yourself? Some people deal with more doubts, inadequacy, and judgment because of their Human Design. (when we work together we look into that too)
• The one practical idea in this episode is to stop throwing obstacles underneath your feet, stop wasting energy on doubts, and use this energy for creativity. 
• What is the value of your creativity?
• The value of making art (for you): self-expression, getting better and better at this, higher self-esteem (because it is your authentic expression, therefore squishing that expression squishes your life’s force), expanding your creative potential, the release of creative anxiety. Creating flow in the channel of inspiration. Making room for more, bigger, better ideas.
• Even if you make bad art (bad, meaning not as good as you wished) – you need to make it.
• Eric Maisel’s quote on writing bad pages “You need to write the bad to write the good. You can always throw away the bad paragraphs, but first you need to write them” 
• My epiphany after painting a kitschy painting and loving it. (ok, my artist friend saw it and she said it is good! I am just being hard on myself)
• My experience with writing a blog in English (it’s my second language) and looking back at the blogs I wrote years ago, seeing all the mistakes and feeling horrible shame … Epiphany: even though shame is one of the most painful emotions a human may feel, I would take it over the pain of hoarding ideas.(!!!)
• The value of your creativity for others. (my experience with sharing my art, my experience with another person’s art. Being delighted with imperfect art: it didn’t have to be a masterpiece, it just had to be done. and shared.)
• What to do about the fear of critique, judgment, etc.
• What I noticed while coaching on public speaking.
