Speaking about how you want to feel about your creativity and how inspired you are can do wonders for your creativity. We (humans) can be hard on ourselves, especially in creative pursuits. Consider the inner dialogue that you carry on while making creative decisions. I know if I’m not careful those thoughts can be negative and unhelpful, leading to indecision and frustration.
Creative Affirmation
I am incredibly creative and inspired.
Confirming my creativity and inspiration instead can lead to a much more fulfilling time in my studio. I’d like to encourage you to repeat this affirmation anytime you are uncertain or doubtful about your project. Then come back to the decision at hand and see how the decision at hand feels at that moment. Making those small internal shifts to confirm your creativity can make such a big difference in the outlook on a project.
Trusting the creative process, and confirming my creativity as often as needed leads to inspired ideas and furthers my creativity. Recognizing the negative thoughts as just thoughts and replacing them with the affirmation can take practice, but definitely worth the effort. I hope you will take a few minutes to adjust your focus today!

Wow; I really like how Dart looks with all solids.
I liked your reminder about adjusting your focus. Another good post to think about when uncertain about a project.
