How to prevent perfectionism from killing your creativity

There is a tool that I introduced some time ago in the workshop that is giving me very good results. Maybe it will help you too.

Because the thing is this:


In a watercolor you can't go wrong. Every brushstroke has to be the right one. There is no way to correct or undo the mistake.

And what happens is that sometimes you give a brushstroke that is not the right one and you spoil the drawing. A drawing that maybe has taken you 15 hours of work...

And you get angry, upset and want to burn down the workshop, open a bar and never touch a paintbrush again.

The irony is that this anger will very easily lead you to give another bad brushstroke and ruin another drawing.

It is a fish that bites its own tail.
 

The solution
Every morning, as soon as I wake up and while I prepare my coffee, I get ready to start from scratch.

And while I drink my coffee I commit myself to leave behind the bad energy of the previous day and to start from scratch with illusion and serenity.

In fact, it can be applied to everything.
It's not just for those of us who draw. 

It works. It is powerful. 

Greetings - PEACE and Love‍.
