Finish your creative work with an abundance mindset
from The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin
How to Apply This
- Identify your finishing touches.
Take some time to think about what specific finishing touches each of your art projects requires, such as color correction, editing, or framing. - Set achievable goals.
Break down the finishing touches into smaller, achievable goals, and set deadlines for each one. This will help you stay on track and make consistent progress toward completion. - Recognize and overcome fear.
Recognize if fear of commitment or perfectionism is holding you back, and come up with strategies to overcome it. Don't let fear stop you from completing your work. - Practice an abundant mindset.
Adopt an abundant mindset and trust that new ideas will always come to you. Release your completed work with the faith that more opportunities will arise. - Celebrate your accomplishments.
When you finish a piece of art, take the time to celebrate your accomplishment. Recognize that completing your work is a valuable skill that will help you grow as an artist.
