Turn the fear into
familiarity
We are always scared about the unknown as we
do not know what to expect. Do not fear failure.
Embrace it instead. We all have the fear of failing
a task and especially a project which was done
through a lot of care and time. However failure
doesn't have to be a scary thing. You will always
come across things which are unfamiliar and
scary, but this will help you open up and see the
world in a new light through new creative eyes.
Embrace the fear and make it familiar to yourself.
Remember, creativity is something you practice,
NOT something you are born with. Stop judging
yourself. You are the only ones who can let
yourself down. Don't let others determine whether
you continue your creative path, instead claim it
as your own right. If you can listen to your own
intuition and embrace more of your ideas (good
and bad), you’re already partway to overcoming
this fear. Instead of letting thoughts run through
your head and down the drain, capture them
systematically in some form of idea notebook.
Keep a whiteboard and marker in the shower.
Schedule daily “white space” in your calendar,
where your only task is to think or take a walk
and daydream. Let new ideas spark as you begin
new projects and let them lead you to your most
creative self.
