56. How To Work Through Creative Resistance
If you’ve ever had trouble getting motivated to do the creative work you’re not alone! In this week’s episode I’m guiding Laura through this very common problem as she prepares for her second solo show.
As I get to grips with the challenges facing Laura, I give her some tips as well as kindly calling her out on some of the patterns that I’ve witnessed since mentoring Laura through her first exhibition in season 1 of the podcast. Breaking patterns is never easy for any of us, so listen in as I nurture Laura toward taking the steps to overcome this resistance.
Some of the key moments in this episode are;
Setting parameters to induce creative freedom
Not rushing to the finish line and leaning into the ‘dreamy’ phase of creating without pressure.
Giving yourself permission to create bad art and forgive yourself again and again.
Recovering from perfectionism by working on a volume of work at once.
Enjoy the episode!
