Do you write everyday?

Do you do morning pages to kick it into action?

Do you do a prompt? 

I’m still not the best at my writing, so many things seem to block my path. Just as I think “yes, it’s my turn” some monster jumps into my path. So then you begin to wonder, am I suppose to write? Or am I to write, even thou the monsters are fighting for all my time?

An obsession with making things perfect. 

Perfectionism, so crippling that it stops us from being who we should be…no one is perfect. And once we realize this, that’s what sets us free to be who we dream to be…a writer, a painter, a mother, a father, a friend, creative. 

It takes lots of practice to learn to let go of perfectionism. One must practice trust. 

Trust yourself to know that what you do is good enough. 

Perfectionism at its core is fear, a need to control. Once we learn to trust ourself, perfectionism fades away. 

Once we lose the need to ALWAYS control, to make it perfect, we can relax, we can create. 

Get uncomfortable and grow. 

Comfort is control, is perfectionism. 

Get uncomfortable and grow. 

Learn to enjoy those feelings, fear, uncomfortable, uncertainty, and trust the process as you practice growing. Brake the rules you have set for yourself. You know you have them. 

Brainstorm them out, journal them out, morning pages them out. 

No writing with blue ink, no writing with a pencil, no art in my writing journal, no messing up when journaling, etc

Come on, get honest with yourself. The real truth,

A done something is far better then a perfect nothing. 

There should never to rule to creativity. Brainstorm those rules, those thoughts of protectionism. Be honest. 

How do you allow your rules to control your creativity?

What could be the worse thing that happens if you let them go?

It’s hard work, but we can over come our perfectionism. 

I’ve had the flu. I never get sick. And this has taken me down. Its been over a week and I still am down. 

Hope others are well and write like a fire storm.
