Stay committed to your creative practice from "summary" of The Creative Habit by Twyla Tharp,Mark Reiter
To be creative means to be committed. It means to show up day after day, year after year, and do the work. It means to push through the doubt and the resistance that inevitably come with the territory of creating something new. It means to stay dedicated to your craft, even when it feels hard or overwhelming. When you commit to your creative practice, you are making a promise to yourself and to your art. You are saying that you value your work enough to keep showing up, even when it's tough. You are setting a standard for yourself, a standard of excellence and perseverance that will carry you through the inevitable highs and lows of the creative process.
Commitment is not always easy. There will be days when you don't feel inspired, when you don't feel like creating. But those are the days when your commitment will carry you through. Those are the days when you will sit down at your desk or your easel or your computer, and you will do the work, regardless of how you feel.
Commitment is about showing up, even when you don't feel like it. It's about putting in the time and the effort, day in and day out, even when you're tired or discouraged. It's about trusting the process and knowing that if you keep at it, eventually you will break through to something new and exciting.
So stay committed to your creative practice. Make it a priority in your life. Set aside time each day to work on your art, whether it's writing, painting, dancing, or any other creative pursuit. Show up for yourself and for your art, and watch as your commitment pays off in ways you never imagined.
