What if you were worth it? No, seriously. If you've ever stopped yourself from doing something that felt right for reasons of fear, of negative self-talk, of reasons unknown then ask yourself this simple small question. Acknowledge that your thoughts are getting in the way and then replace them with this little question instead. You may do too much and need to say no to things...if that's you, same exercise applies.

You deserve a gift. Something that uniquely peaks your interest and tickles your fancy and needs absolutely NO explanation. If it’s a pint-sized rubber gnome, so be it.

I know the feeling. You’re starting at the blank screen, blank canvas, blank page, empty stage, shapeless clay, fill-in-your-artist-medium-here and nothing is coming.

It can also give you the parameters for your project. If you're limited on time then try and create a structure that facilitates that. If your resource is money, then pay someo...
