Say These 5 Simple Words to Unleash Your Creativity

A tip for creatives.

If you're anything like me - before you put anything out into the world you may be plagued with doubt. You may have a million thoughts racing in your head like: "Will anyone like this? Is this any good? Is this my best? Will people like...me or make fun of me?" Ha. It's actually ridiculous how much we creatives can talk ourselves out of doing something just dreaming up fears that will 98% of the time never come true.

But I've come up with a little strategy I say to myself every time I start to feel like this. I tell myself this:

"This is just for fun........"

And it's those 5 simple words that instantly relax me. Because I realize "oh, if this is just for fun then...who cares? I'm not trying to impress anybody. I'm not showing my teacher to get a grade. It is just something for fun, for a release, to get this out of me. For me to look at and smile."

And when I think that - I instantly let my guard down and I only have one filter: Myself.

If I like it - then it's good enough :) It doesn't have to be perfect, I just have to like it!

So, who are you letting determine your "good enough" standard ? Is it you..or are you listening to those negative voices in your head, dreaming up fears of the-worst-care-scenario?

Be your own filter. If it's good enough for you, it's good enough.

Create create create. Because you're just doing it for fun, anyway :) Then put it out into the world with soo much love! Knowing that it will really bless, encourage, uplift or give joy to somebody! (Even if it's only somebody is only 1 person....and that 1 person is you, lol jk.) Photo by: Wix
