I am starting to do more creative activities. Activities most might say I have no business trying. However, I want to increase my perception of what is possible.
When I look at my creative journey, the biggest blocker is myself. My internal voice that says, “No. Chris, bro, my dude. What are you smoking on??” In order to reign in my critical voice, I am forcing myself to try new creative projects.
For example, this week, I worked on how to take pictures AND learning how to model in pictures. Wow, even writing ‘model’, my internal voice started screaming at me saying, delete that sentence! Pretend like you did not try to model even though it is literally on Instagram! This is too risky!! EVERYBODY IS LAUGHING CHRIS. Jesus modeling is so fucking scary and I feel so uncomfortable in front of a camera. You need Megan Rapinoe levels of confidence. But, by taking risks, my internal dialogue is shifting. I am a creative person. I am enough. I can succeed. Creativity flows through me. (Please send your favorite mantras!!!)
As always, I really, REALLY appreciate all the feedback and support from you. I received so many incredible messages about last week's piece. I wasn't sure about publishing it, but I am so glad I did.
I love you all and I hope you have an amazing Friday!!
LFG BABY!!
