Happy Wednesday! Happy doodle! 🖍
Abstract doodles are a form of meditation for me. And a form of play. I let my inner 4-year-old inhabit the tip of the pen, and I give her free rein to do whatever she wants, go wherever she wants to go. 🖍
It’s not about impressing anyone, or making money, or winning awards—it’s about pure exploration and “What would happen if..?” (“Ask ‘What if..?’” is Creative Sandbox Way™ Guidepost number 6 😊)
🖍
Improvisation is the easiest way for me to get in that mindspace. Because I’m improvising, and NOT trying to match some platonic ideal in my head, my perfectionist gremlins get confused. They can’t yammer at me that I’m doing it wrong, that I’m not good enough, etc., so they start to bump into each other and wander off. 😉
🖍
At least, I can dream that they do that. 😅

What helps you manage your perfectionist gremlins? Have you found a style of working that works better for you?
