Detail from the Friday Morning Doodlecam. There were some moments there when I truly let go of my Perfectionist Gremlin and all thoughts of the outcome and was in pure Creative Sandbox play mode.
That is the GOAL at all times when I’m doodling, but of course it doesn’t always work that way.
Just like in breath meditation, where the intention is to focus on the breath, but your attention invariably goes bounding off into a thought, and your job is to gently bring it back to your breath… In the Creative Sandbox, when I’m doodling or otherwise creating, my intention is to focus on the process (Creative Sandbox Way Guidepost #2: “Think process, not product”), but of course my attention will get caught up in “is this any good?” Because I’m human, and I have taste, and I want to make things that please me!
This is normal!
My job is to gently bring my attention back to the process, and to remind myself that I’m playing in the Creative Sandbox where there is no wrong (Creative Sandbox Way Guidepost #1: “There is no wrong.”) It’s always fun to notice when I’m really IN that Creative Sandbox space and reveling in it. ?
It’s a practice. And the more you do it, the better you get at it.
