Deep dives

The Creative Process and Self-Worth

Creativity is often viewed as a spontaneous and imperfect journey, contrasting with the pressure to produce tangible results, particularly in a monetized landscape. This tension can deter individuals from engaging in creative practices simply for enjoyment, as societal values equate worth with productivity and financial gain. Many struggle with taking time for creativity without a clear goal, leading to feelings of guilt and doubt about their abilities. Embracing creativity without the constraints of outcomes fosters a more authentic expression of the self.
