Are you passive, passive-aggressive, or aggressive?
Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
What scares you?
Take a look back on all that you have created this month.
How have you stepped outside of your comfort zone? How have you tried new things? Where did you take risks?
It doesn’t have to stop here. Continue to take risks in your creativity. It doesn’t have to be perfect. This is primarily about the process.
Surprise yourself.
If you keep doing the same thing the same way you will keep getting the same results.
Dip your feet in the pool outside of your comfort zone if only to see if the water is nice.
You’ll never know until you try.
In the month of June make a daily effort to face your creative fears. Challenge yourself to step outside of your comfort zone and try new things. Take your creativity in a direction that you may have thought was out of your reach.
Why?
Because sometimes you don’t know how long your arms are until you try to reach for something you thought was too far away.
Take some risks. Write that memoir. Write the essay that has been on your mind for a long time. Write the poems you have been afraid to write. Try a different art medium. Take the pictures you have dreamed of taking. Try a new art form. Challenge yourself to journal, draw, or blog every day. Write the lyrics that you haven’t written for fear no one would get it. Start that novel that you’ve always wanted to write and work on it every day. Create a character that challenges and even scares you.
Don’t let fear keep you in your comfort zone.
No one has to see what you are working on but you. You are accountable to yourself. Prove to yourself that fear is not going to stop you from taking your creativity to the next level.
Ready…
Set…
CREATE!
