You sit down at your studio table to create. But first, you have to be here. Fully. Distractions pull at you—notifications, obligations, self-doubt.

Ignore them! Creativity needs presence.

It’s in the scratch of a pencil, the stroke of a brush, the rhythm of words on a page. The moment you tune in, everything shifts.

Then comes the uncertainty. Will this turn out how you imagined?

Doesn’t matter!

Focusing on the outcome kills the process. It paralyzes you. You are no longer present. You’re imagining others talking about you, judging you, giggling at you.

So don’t do it!

Creativity isn’t about getting it right. It’s about showing up. Making marks. Following ideas. Letting them surprise you.

When you stop worrying about the outcome, you experiment more. Play more. And that’s when the real magic happens.

The more you sink in, the more you enjoy it. The color mixing. The unexpected textures. A shape you didn’t plan.

Even the struggle becomes part of it. Something to lean into, not fight against.

You’re not just making something. You’re inside it. Lost in it. That’s the point.

And when you finish, you realize, it was never about the piece. It was about creating. Being here. In flow.

And you’ll come back to the table again, because this is where creativity lives and where you thrive.
