INSIGHT

Self-Reflection vs. Judgment

  • Self-reflection is different from self-judgment; the latter harms creativity by causing negative feelings.
  • Reflection encourages curiosity and action, while judgment disempowers and restricts progress.
ADVICE

No Negative Thoughts Rule

  • Refuse to engage with negative self-talk during your creative process by saying, "No thank you, I'm busy right now."
  • This strengthens your creative flow and reduces negative thoughts over time.
ADVICE

Meditate To Control Negative Thoughts

  • Meditate 10 minutes daily to become aware that you are not your thoughts.
  • This builds control over your mind and reduces the power of disempowering thoughts.
