The Creator in You needs to be prioritized over the critic.

I started this blog back in October 2024. Two posts, and then nothing. Nothing for seven months… Why? The Critic, the Wounded, the Unhealed? The bottom line, fear. Fear of judgement, fear of it not being good enough, the fear of taking up space in the world wide web. The fear that I would share the imperfect… The imperfect post, painting, poem, recipe, story… the list goes on and on. Share parts of myself, and terrified that there would be rejection. And so, I retreated, back into the safety of my own home, free from the public view. Consequently, silencing my innate need to express myself, beyond myself, through creativity.

And now, I journey forward. Emerging slowly from the safety of my own hermit cave. Going at my own pace, not forcing, but courageously. One small step at a time.

Embracing my creativeness is essential for my personal growth and fulfillment. As I have been able to witness my inner critic, with less condemnation, I can see how often it has hindered me. Casting doubt upon my ideas and stifling my soul’s expression. By choosing to focus on the Creator within, I can allow myself to explore new possibilities, take risks, and express my authentic self.

This shift in mindset enables us to pursue our passions with confidence, leading to a more vibrant, satisfying life. One where creativity flourishes unhindered, and we can feel alive again!

I may not have all the answers, the exact layout of the creative world I am exploring, but I do have the creative spark within… the one that beacons me onward. And maybe, just maybe, has inspired you to do the same, in your own unique, beautiful way!

Until next time,

The Inspired Imaginative
