Snapshot from My Studio: October 15, 2018 at 10:01AM

10/15/18: weak.
This doodle felt very weak to me. I don’t like it. I didn’t like it while I was creating it on the live, streaming Doodlecam (which you can watch on my Story for the next 24 hours, or on my IGTV channel). But it’s not about whether you like it or hate it, it’s about DOING IT! It’s about letting your inner 4-year-old take the reins for a bit. Muck about, not try to impress anyone. Did you try to impress anyone when you drew with crayons when you were 4? (Or if you were any overachiever, if you were 3. Or 2.) NO! You did not! You were simply exploring! Asking yourself the question, “What would happen if..?” 🖍
This is what it means to play in the creative sandbox. This is what my Creative Sandbox Way™ Guideposts are designed to help you do! To let loose! To make messes! To free yourself from perfectionist paralysis so you can CREATE and get back to having FUN again, without worrying about whether what you’re creating is “good enough.”
🖍
Who the ***** cares if it’s “good enough”??? What the heck does that even mean, anyway??? This doodle is a big, ol’ mess. My gremlins are horrified and embarrassed that I made it, embarrassed I’m sharing it, but you know what? My inner 4-year-old had a blast making it! And THAT is what matters!
🖍
So who are you gonna listen to? Who are you gonna take direction from? Your gremlins? Or your inner 4-year-old? I can tell you which one will lead to greater happiness, and it’s not your gremlins.
🖍
Rant over.
