Mmmm... Playing it safe, getting permission, uncertainty and routines
Things to make you go Mmmm…

"To encourage and inspire creativity by sharing more wisdom every week than any electronic artist in the world.”
Three thoughts for your creativity and one on mine.
3 for you:
Is it better safe?
“Most of the time, when we are blocked in an area of our life, it is because we feel safer that way.” - Julia Cameron
Write your own permission slip.
“You must give yourself permission to imagine a new future and act on it.” - Beth Comstock
No risk no reward.
"If you know something's going to work, it's not worth working on. It requires no courage. It requires no faith. It requires no skin in the game. Whether you're a spy or a teacher or a spouse or a painter or an abuela or an astronaut or a monk or a barista or a board-game designer, the bits that matter are the bits you make matter by putting yourself on the line for them. The unknown is the foundry where you forge your chips. Everything important is uncertain. Sitting with the discomfort of that uncertainty is the hard part, the wedge that can move the world." - Eliot Peper
1 from me
“The Importance of Routine:
Takes pressure off making decisions to get started
Feels less daunting than building up to - what can feel like - a one-shot chance
Keeps ideas fresh by regularly renewing your perspective
Regular sessions are less stressful than cramming into infrequent ones
Frequency nurtures productivity, helping you get more done.
