Wild and Free - Filling the Creative Well - Blog Series

 


I used to worry a lot about what 'they' would think about my work and me if I posted. I started to ask myself who the 'they' were that I allowed to take up real-estate in my mind for FREE. I tried to put a face to the 'they' - all those who had negative things to say, or who I imagined would have something to criticize me for and I decided to untether myself.


Consider what it would be like if you threw off the rules, expectations, and perfectionism, and let go of all those negative thoughts that only delay you.

Let yourself create with childlike joy and abandon.  We can hold ourselves in such ridged constraints worrying about what the others might think.

What you can try

  • Put on music and move while you create. Draw with your eyes closed. Your creative practice doesn’t have to be tidy it just has to be true and come from you.

  • Create a page that’s loose, bold, and unfiltered. Let your instinct lead.

  • Create on the wild side and tap into your intuition. It lets your hands speak before your mind interrupts. You can also rediscover the part of you that just wants to feel good creating.

Whatever you make today, let it be untamed. Wild lines. Loud color. Bold movement. Nothing is too much.

Takeaway Nuggets:

  • Wildness invites joy and surprise.

  • Freedom is where the real magic begins.
