THE QUESTION: Where do I find confidence and once I find it how do I keep it going?

Confidence in your creative abilities is strengthened when you try something new and feel good about the outcome. Everything qualifies! Maybe it’s trying a new recipe or working on a DIY project, but it could be writing random poetry or learning a new embroidery stitch every day for a month. Maybe it’s beginning to meditate or learning to sing.

THE PROBLEM:

Confidence can be strengthened over time with consistent practice, but many of us lack confidence when we compare ourselves to others. It’s hard to dismantle the conditioned belief that we aren’t as creative as other people we know, and that keeps us from trying the very things that might help us feel more confident.
