I needed to read this today. I’m currently doing The Artists Way but still struggling with procrastinating on my creative work. Loved learning more about the science of feeling safe and being enough.
Such a good question!! We actually see this all the time at Daydreamers - even the idea of taking any creative action is scary / difficult. It's so much more common than you might think!
We actually break down creative "warm ups" into 3 main categories: creative thinking, creative noticing (appreciating) and creative expression. It's usually easier to begin "warming up" your creativity with thinking and noticing rather than expression.
Good news: you're already doing it! By reading this newsletter you're exposing your creative brain to new ideas and information. That's a perfect first step.

That's amazing - so glad it was helpful 🤍🤓
What if you are so stuck you can’t even do “warm up” type activities. 😞
