What does it mean to feel creatively confident? How do you know when that elusive feeling you've
been after has finally taken hold?
Everyone experiences these things differently, but here are a few ways you might recognize creative confidence when you're feeling it:
You feel it in your body:
Your chest is open and expansive.
That fluttery, excited feeling flits through your stomach.
A need to move, and act. You can't wait to begin, and your body wants to lead the way.
Your emotions are along for the ride too:
There's a sense of YES.
The next step feels positive and exciting.
You feel warmly toward your project, like it's a friend you get to hang out with.
Your thoughts chime in with things like this:
"If something goes wrong, it's no big deal."
"Even if I don't know exactly what I'm doing yet, I'll figure it out."
"Oh, this is gonna be fun."
