It was @daniellelaporte who in #TheDesireMap said

It was @daniellelaporte who in #TheDesireMap said “EVERYTHING IS PROGRESS – AND I MEAN EVERYTHING!” I couldn’t agree more – especially when it comes to making something out of nothing… aka the creative process. 🙅🏼‍♀️ I won’t hit you with any productivity hacks or shame you for not getting up at 4am to do your morning routine (what good would that do?!). Only you know how far you’ve come.
Only you know how far you want to go.
The trick is fall in love with process – so much so that you’re so swept up in what you’re bringing to life that you don’t even notice how much time has passed. That, baby, is pure FLOW 🌊 [Text in image: Progress, not perfection, is what we should be asking of ourselves]

What’s the opposite of perfectionism? 🧐 I th

What’s the opposite of perfectionism? 🧐 I thought it was negligence or disinterest, but I think it’s something more nuanced than that. Perfectionism is frantic, it’s busy and rigid.
It’s being everything for everyone while leaving yourself to last.
It’s comparison, fear and leaves a dry taste in my mouth. The opposite of perfectionism isn’t negligence – it’s presence. ✨ Be here, now ✨ When you bear witness to the present moment, the future and the past melt away. There’s no time to compare or contrast – all you have to do is BE. 👉🏼 Being present to the moment and to our needs makes us more receptive to what’s around us. Inspiration may be lurking around a few moments from now, but if you’re too busy to notice, you’ll miss it entirely. If you have trouble dropping into the present moment, especially where your creativity is concerned, you might be interested in what I’m about to drop next 👇🏼 I’ve quietly launched a new offering called CREATIVE PRESCRIPTION where I'll build out a custom creative prescription for you in 30 minutes after interviewing you to decipher what creative 'medicine' you need. It’s AUD75 and you’ll get 3-5 recommendations of activities, books, podcasts, movies or artworks to absorb. And if money is tight, I have a ‘no questions asked’ discount code for 50% off. So if you’re feeling stuck, uninspired or missing that spark you used to carry for your work, slide into my DMs and let’s reignite you 🚀

This week I’ve got perfectionism on my mind. Why

This week I’ve got perfectionism on my mind. Why? A lot of my friends and fellow creatives struggle with it so it’s worth exploring a little deeper. Perfectionism means you don’t accept anything less than perfect, that there’s a desire to BE perfect or an aspiration to achieve perfection. While this is a beneficial trait for the work you do, it can create creative blocks in your own creative flow. More energy and time is often spent striving for an ideal outcome, rather than relaxing into the process and letting it unfold as it needs to. It’s important to have standards, but if you find yourself holding back your gifts from the world, you might have a case of perfectionitis 🤕 But don’t fret – I’m solutions-focused, so here are 3️⃣ tips to help you bust through perfectionism when it rears its ugly head. 👉🏼 CELEBRATE YOUR MISTAKES 👈🏼
When things don’t go quite according to plan, it’s time to drop everything and cheer for yourself! Failures bring you one step closer to success, so share your ‘ugly art’, your f*&k ups, your mishaps and disappointments. 👉🏼 MAKE YOUR OWN RULES 👈🏼
If you compare yourself to others, create a rule that when you feel that way you remove yourself from the situation. Unfollow, unfriend and block anything that doesn’t make you feel alive, whole or appreciated. 👉🏼 CULTIVATE SELF AWARENESS 👈🏼
Instead of watching yet another episode of MAFS, spend that time getting to know your inner world. Spot your patterns and learn to interrupt that negative self talk when it pops up. And lastly, here’s a mantra to scribble on a post-it and stick to your wall: EXPRESSION OVER PERFECTION, EVERY TIME.

I used to live and work in San Diego, CA – one of my favourite escapes was the @sandiegoartinstitute 🎨 Located in Balboa Park, just a short stroll from where I used to work (shoutout to the legends at @greenhaus), their mission is to advance regional contemporary art and artists while fostering cultural equity through access to meaningful art experiences. It’s not the Guggenheim or LACMA, but the works I was exposed to there transformed my understanding of the immigrant experience, latin culture and cross-border politics. We need spaces dedicated to creative expression as they nurture empathy, foster understanding and give voice to all the different experiences of being a human.

Your job is to make the time and set up the space.

Your job is to make the time and set up the space. That’s it. Let whatever is trying to come through, come through. This weekend, can you carve out 90 minutes to dedicate to your own creativity? Don’t give me that “I’m-not-creative” or “I-don’t-know-what-to-do” BS. I won’t stand for it! I’ve seen you on here talk about that course you’re creating. Or that digital product you’ve been wanting to put together. That shit won’t build itself. [Text in image: Art is not about thinking something up. It is the opposite - getting something down.

I’ve always been a huge fan of Viennese artist @anatolknotek 😍 So much so that I curated him into an exhibition at Town Hall Gallery here in Melbourne when I was a gallery assistant (gosh that feels like a few lifetimes ago!). His work explores the relationship between text and image in such an elegant way. It’s a reminder of how temporal life and language is, especially when viewed through the lens of the self. What I love most about the works above, is that there’s nowhere to hide. Their stark monochromatic announcements just LAND 🎤 [Works in images from L to R: Mistapes; Expressed; and Bye.]

👉🏼 CREATIVITY REFRAME: I'm not doing somethi

👉🏼 CREATIVITY REFRAME: I'm not doing something creative, I’m just asking a question to the world and being open to receive an answer. Blocking out time to be creative in your calendar is redundant. You’re already busy, why add more pressure on top of that?! What if you didn’t have to BE creative? What if creativity was as natural to you as a conversation? What if everything you touched was infused with your own flavour of creative energy, and you didn’t have to do SHIT to make it happen? Here’s what I’ve learned – anytime I try to be creative, I get more backed up than a music festival portable toilet. Nothing flows, everything feels, well, stuck. But when I get that “hit” of creative energy and simply tug at the thread of the idea before me, the whole story unravels and I’m able to surrender to (and trust) the process. That’s why it’s important to not be too rigid in your planning and how you structure your day. I know, I know, responsibilities, blah blah blah… but you can find or make the time for it. However, if you feel like a prisoner of your calendar and want more space to turn your ideas into real, tangible things, I’m ya gurl. I offer creativity coaching sessions (one-off sessions and more) designed to inspire, organise and demystify your creative impulses. If you can learn to harness that energy, you can learn to solve problems for the world, not create more for yourself 😝 If you’re curious, DM me and let’s bounce some ideas around ✨ [Photo by Syh on Unsplash]
