I refuse to believe that neurodivergent creatives are “lazy” or “undisciplined”

We’re not broken. We’re BRILLIANT.

We’ve just been taught to create in ways that were never meant for us,

And have more sensitive nervous systems that need to be treated with love, care & nourishment to feel safe.

It was never discipline holding you back…

It was the mask.

Let’s burn it, and you’ll meet the Muse you’ve been chasing 😉

That’s why The Muse Trials exists.

If you’re called the trials are for you.

Xx, Muse

Great read for artists/makers/humans
The Creative Act is quickly becoming one of my favorite reads📖♥️. It’s filled with deep introspective topics and motivation but is written in such an easily digestible format. Perfect for #neurodivergent readers. Highly recommend for any kind of creator! #artbook #neurodivergent #creatives

I used to beat myself up over my inability to be “consistent” (claaaasic ADHD perfectionism shame, bestie) I swore if I could just find more discipline, more structure, more “push”… that my creative spark would magically come back. But the TRUTH that nobody tells neurodivergent creatives???

I know ADHD is real - I live with it! But I also think some people use it as an excuse to avoid discipline. It’s easy to let a diagnosis define what you’re capable of. But just because you struggle more than the average person with certain things, doesn’t mean you ✨can’t✨ do them… ADHD doesn
