That nasty inner critic it can paralyze you. Stop you from creating. Myself having LD/ADD it is a consist companion to me. A foe I have to deal with on most days. This love, hate relationship to writing. I seem to have to write or need it in my life either, its poetry which I can be freer with then an formal article. I live with that nasty inner critic and writer’s block.
Well how do you/I overcome these’s powerful stoppers of creativity. It is not an easy task though sometimes I just have to do it like the Nike Commercial. If I waited for the motivation I would be waiting a long time. Maybe the motivation comes after doing it like exercising for me I hate to start but I feel much better after I do it. Setting up a time which I do every day at the same time maybe early is the morning first thing after my coffee. Routines work well for me and scheduling it in my date book as an appointment with me and my creative mind and also having a creativity coach who I am accountable too helps me a lot.
I call myself a late bloomer though I created early in life I did not have the disciple to keep it up. Which is very important to me and my clients? Now later in my life creativity has been more important to me and has more meaning too.
