1. Go with the flow.
Start with an idea, and let it lead you through. Feel comfortable with it before you start, have a rough idea of what you want to create. Then let it all out.
2. Say what you feel.
It’s not wrong to feel things, so express it. In whatever way that may be, drawing, painting, writing. It doesn’t matter, it’s a way to let things out and express how you feel, maybe so others can understand it or so you can begin to understand it more too.
3. Know the difference between an amateur and an expert.
An expert connects with their audience and themselves, it’s important to know yourself and who you’re sharing with. An amateur may not be able to connect with themselves or an audience, but when you get to the point of knowing how to understand them both, it makes all the difference.
4. Find inspiration.
It’s hard to do something without motivation or inspiration. That’s why when I’m inspired, I write. If I see something that inspires me, I tend to mimic that writing style or topic. Then I let it all flow out. If you’re struggling with finding motivation, try to inspire yourself. It works, I promise.
5. Let yourself settle in whatever you’re expressing.
Acknowledge what you’re feeling and try to accept those feelings, whether you feeling everything or nothing or anything in between or outside of it. Try to connect with yourself and express what you’re feeling in a way that feels good for you.
6. Accept the things you don’t like about your creation.
Things can always be improved, but it doesn’t always necessarily need to be. If you don’t like it, you can start over or try and fix it. I know it’s frustrating when you mess up, or if you work hard on something but it doesn’t come out as expected. It’s alright, take a breath. I know you probably want to ruin or destroy your creation because it’s not what you wanted but you have to learn to accept that we are not perfect. Our imperfections make us who we are. Without them, we wouldn’t be authentic.
7. Accept that fact that you are not perfect.
Although you may want to be, no human is or is capable of being perfect. We all have flaws, shortcomings, and imperfections. Most of the time we probably set higher expectations for ourselves than others do for us, and then we’re disappointed in ourselves and may think others are in disappointed in us when we don’t reach those expectations. These expectations are most of the time unrealistic and unachievable, but just because they may be those things does not mean you have failed or are a failure, it just means you have to adjust your expectations.
