Five minutes of creative work
Giving yourself credit for what you’ve done
Speaking kindly to yourself about your project
Rolling with mistakes
Obstacles seeming slightly more surmountable
Feeling pleasure while working
Hating what’s coming out but being proud of doing it anyway
Fewer negative voices in your head
Following a path to a new creative idea
Looking forward to creating
Less guilt when you don’t make it happen
Knowing yourself better
Being aware of what works for you
Being aware of what doesn’t work for you
Accepting what works for you and what doesn’t
Knowing that someone else’s way isn’t necessarily yours, and that’s fine
Recognizing the signs of fear
Reveling in your downtime when you get it
Less comparison with other creators
Knowing what do-able step comes next
Noticing the do-able step is do-able enough to do right now, if need be
Doing the do-able step
Finding the next one
Being proud of yourself for what you’ve accomplished
Taking note of the ways you’re growing creatively
Letting that momentum move you forward
Gratitude for your creative work, and for all the ways you’ve grown
