All my card pulls have been related to anxiety recently -- like I need a card to tell me I'm feeling it if sorts. Today's card has a point, though: I've not been dealing with it really at all. Been pushing those feelings aside and letting them fester instead of facing them, feeling them, sharing them, and growing. I hold me back, not my anxiousness.

Today, I face my creative work. I begin a journey to improve my creativity. I do not give in to the inner coward telling me I'm terrible, a shit writer, an unimaginative moron. I listen to the inner bitch who says who cares what other people think? You got something to say! Write the story! Draw the picture! Stitch the fabric! You're a m-fing artist.

... Read moreFacing anxiety can be daunting, yet it’s essential for personal growth and creativity. Recognizing that you hold the power to confront your feelings, rather than letting them hold you back, is crucial. Anxiety often stifles creative expression, but channeling those feelings can lead to profound artistic insights. In today's fast-paced world, many people struggle with anxiety and self-doubt. The key lies in avoiding the trap of ignoring these feelings. By acknowledging them, you can use this energy to fuel your creative passions. Whether it’s writing, painting, or any form of art, allowing your emotions to flow can lead to significant breakthroughs. Moreover, seeking support from environments that foster creativity and understanding can enhance your journey. Consider connecting with like-minded individuals who encourage artistic exploration. Join workshops or online communities that focus on expression and support. This collaborative spirit can help alleviate feelings of isolation while boosting your confidence. Remember, creativity thrives on authenticity. The more you embrace your unique voice and experiences, the more impactful your art will become. Recognize that each piece of work, no matter how small, contributes to your growth as an artist. Celebrate your progress and remind yourself that perfection is not the goal—courageous expression is.
