Frequently Asked Questions

What is creative block?
Creative block is usually just “perfectionism in disguise.” Use affirmations like “I am allowed to make a mess” to lower the stakes and start flowing again.

Can anyone be creative?
Yes. Creativity is a human trait. Like a muscle, it grows when you use it and shrinks when you don’t. Affirmations help you start “using” it with more confidence.

How do I find my unique voice?
By creating a high volume of work. Affirmations keep you going through the “ugly” stage of development until your true voice emerges.
