Taking Creative Action

Let's talk about getting the important work done.

Think about that design project you keep circling around. The one that matters, but somehow keeps getting pushed aside. Stephen Pressfield, one of my favorite authors, would call this the Resistance - that force that rises up whenever we approach meaningful work.

How does this show    up for you. Maybe as procrastination, as endless research, as organizing instead of creating. 

The fact that you experience this isn't weakness - it's simply part of the creative process.

Creators who are true professionals understand something crucial: Inspiration often follows action, not the other way around. 

The work begins when you begin, whether you feel ready or not.

Sometimes the path forward isn't about feeling confident - it's about taking the next small step anyway.

What's the work in front of you right now? What single decision or action would move your project forward? Start there. Progress comes from consistent action, not from waiting for the perfect moment.  Small steps, every day.

You've pushed through creative challenges before. You’ve been in the zone before.  You’ve completed projects before.  And you'll do it again.

No matter what, resistance, whether that’s fear or distraction or overwhelm will show up.

That’s ok.  It’s actually a sign you’re working on the right thing.

Get to work anyway.  An hour of focused work every day can transform your life.
