A question asked at the start of our in-person day that I very quickly put my hand up and said no to...
Do you consider yourself creative?
Absolutely not. Never have been. Don’t attempt to be.
Then Sophie said, “You’ve got 10 minutes to write a poem...”
OFFS.
I spent what felt like 9 of those 10 minutes staring out of the window, convinced I had absolutely nothing to say.
Then I just thought...
F**k it.
Just write. See what comes out.
Within a few minutes, I was giggling at myself and my ridiculous attempts to rhyme (which, for some reason, I thought was the only way to write a poem).
Will I be publishing a poetry book? Absolutely not.
Was I proud of what I created? 100%.
It reminded me of something I think we all forget.
So much of what we create doesn’t come from trying harder.
It comes from letting go.
From trusting ourselves enough to stop overthinking.
From having a bit of fun instead of trying to get everything right.
Thats why so many of us feel stuck.
We’re waiting until we know we’ll be good at something before we even let ourselves begin.
What if the best things you’ve got inside you are waiting for the moment you stop trying to impress anyone and simply enjoy the process?
