Give yourself permission to create without judgment from "summary" of Big Magic (deluxe) by Elizabeth Gilbert
When you decide to create, whether it's a painting, a poem, a dance, or a new recipe, it's important to remember that you don't need anyone else's approval but your own. You must grant yourself permission to create without judgment, without fear of what others might think. This is crucial because when you create for the pure joy of it, without worrying about how it will be received, you are able to tap into your true creative potential. Many of us have been conditioned to seek external validation for our creative endeavors. We are afraid to pursue our passions because we fear criticism or rejection. However, this need for validation can be detrimental to our creative process. It can stifle our creativity and prevent us from fully expressing ourselves. When we create with the sole purpose of pleasing others, we lose touch with our own unique voice and vision. By giving yourself permission to create without judgment, you are allowing yourself the freedom to explore, experiment, and make mistakes. You are giving yourself the space to take risks and push boundaries. This is where true creativity flourishes – in the realm of uncertainty and vulnerability. When you let go of the need for approval, you open yourself up to endless possibilities and discoveries. Remember that creativity is a deeply personal and intimate process. It is not about perfection or conformity. It is about self-expression, authenticity, and innovation. When you create without judgment, you are honoring your inner artist and nurturing your creative spirit. You are allowing yourself to be vulnerable, open, and courageous. And in doing so, you are connecting to something greater than yourself – the universal source of creativity that flows through all of us. So, the next time you feel the urge to create, remember to give yourself permission to do so without judgment. Embrace the process with an open heart and a curious mind. Trust in your own creative instincts and intuition. And most importantly, have faith in your ability to bring something beautiful and meaningful into the world.
