So Why Did I Stop Creating?

At 100 videos I received the most horrible voice message I’ve ever received. The words that were said echoed the insecurities I’d been trying to overcome. As a result I deleted most of my videos from Instagram. I didn’t create anything for six weeks.

This is a story for another day, but in short, this voice message was pivotal in my journey of doing and overcoming. It was the beginning of learning to ‘manage my mind’. Learning to separate thoughts from facts. Understanding my thoughts are different to others and being okay with that. Acknowledging my feelings, and learning to work through the many challenges my mind throws at me.

Super shout out to Dana Wilson and the WTMM Community. At 100 videos the deep work really began. And continues.

While I’m not creating a video daily anymore, I have developed and addictive habit to create often. God created us all individuals, with unique gifts. Here’s the kicker: to share them. So spiritually it makes sense that I’m feeling a little freer then I was this time a year ago. Creativity may have been the biggest thing missing from my life.

I’m excited to share what I’ve learnt in the following blogs. For now I’m working on creating larger projects and navigating away from Instagram’s instant scroll then see ya later culture. Sometimes art needs more space then a 1:1/ 9:16 BUT it does have its benefits!
