It has been already quite a while since my last post and as I slowly start to ramp up my creative activity, I thought it timely to start posting again.
I always struggle to publish (thoughts incoming); this is not done yet / I should have more pictures for this post / do my posts flow? / Wait - damn it - I don’t have a reel for this! / what is my message to the world? / I only have enough material for one post; should I wait until I have more and then post “regularly”? / what if it doesn’t perform well? etcetera
I don’t think I am the only one whose sense of “perfectionism” and overthinking supposes a clear bottleneck to publishing our own creations/projects/fascinations. By all means it is not a requirement to publish, but for those of us who want to share with the world what we are capable and/or proud of, it’s part of the game.
My current self-talk to deal with such bottleneck is to:
- Forgive & love my curious, imperfect self
- Champion curiosity over perfection
- Analyse, learn and improve
- Hakuna Matata in this case, to have fun
Before I end this rather long (my longest so far?) post on self-reflection, I would like to say a couple of words on the picture itself (how could I not!).
This was a collab done not too long after summer 2023 and I wanted to recreate wave reflections on the model. I am very thankful to for committing to the idea and to for her blazing efficient yet lovely makeup. I hope we get to work again not too far in the future :-)
More to come 😉
