I absolutely have the same struggle,!! usually my cycle is: create something, be excited about it, edit, watch it 1000x times, wanna share, post it... and then I watch it when its out there and get so caught up on the minor errors that I start to notice or I just feel so exposed that I delete it.. I definitely need to work on that as well, thank you for this video
Yes yes yes! I have the same feelings every damn day. My best advice is to block everything out, give yourself a time limit, and then just post or show the final product. Like, IT IS WHAT IT IS! 😂
wow that tip about not looking at work thats similar to yours when you're in that hyper critical/sensitive stage of your own process, that's a good idea, imma remember that one...damn grass is always greener 😭
Oh my gosh I feel this so much. I overthink everything and I end up self-sabotaging because I'm such a perfectionist when it comes to my creative projects. I just have to constantly remind myself that putting something out there that is "imperfect" is always going to be better than never putting my work out there in the first place. I also feel you about not putting my eyes on things that are too similar to what I'm trying to do. Comparison is the death of creativity I swear 😭
I've been overthinking everything literally my whole life and always stopping myself from even starting anything that I want to do! You literally have to sometimes snap yourself out of it and just start! The more you do the thing the better you will become at it and the more your confidence will rise! We can all do this!! 🙌🏻💞
i used to be sooo creative and talented but as i grew up i kind of forgot about everything and decided to focus on friends and school , recently with quarantine i have been struggling you know. always on the phone on screens!!! it really overwhelming but hopefully ill get out of this loop!! thank you for the advice
All of this is SO true like when im editing im like meh this couldve been better but in the end its just so important to POST it anyway. DONE is better than PERFECT!
Read "The Artist's Way" - Ahhh! It's incredible!! I think creating as little space between ideation and execution is so good! Also the question "If it were easy how would I do it?" for me keeps it fun and not overkill the idea or over complicate as you said!
Nice insights :) thanks for sharing. When i feel inspiration hit, i have a 5-10 second window to make a move before my mind comes up with self doubt and excuses. Follow that gut feeling :)
I found this video really relatable. I think myself in circles and honestly everything you said helps me when I do this. Especially the last thing you mentioned about not watching others. When I'm in the middle of my process and I do that, I get so discouraged cus I compare myself alot. I either get discouraged from comparing or subconsciously imitate the work I'm seeing. So I just try and stay away completely. Another thing that helps me is starting with the simplest, tiniest step first. Once I just start I can get past my chronic overthinking and gather momentum after that.
This was such a wonderful message ! I absolutely struggle with this in my creative journey but that tip about not consuming the same content that you’re making truly resonated with me ! I’ll take it with me ! ✨
girl, I loved and I need this. Just here to hype you up and say that I love your content, and something as "simple" as this video can make someone's day. also, you really made me wanna watch the last dance and play basketball, I miss it so fucking much. keep doing your thing cause you're doing great 😌
Thank you for such guidance; I do wish I had this advice years ago....I am older, but am creating now, to myself....maybe...it's time to break it out....you youthful creators, in this wonderful technology, are outstanding....I wish you the best, and say, Go forward
Lol I saw the title and thought “how did she know?” Honestly, over thinking is one of the most stifling parts of the creative process. I’ve found myself overcomplicating and stressing out a lot as an excuse to talk myself out of doing stuff.
We stay on the same wave, Joycelyn! 🧡Thank you again for taking the time to watch and it truly is one of the most stifling parts! BUT it's good that we are aware we do it...cuz that's the first step to improving, right?!
One of my struggle is that I can't do anything else other than what I start. If I start to do something, I wait to see the results. When I wait I struggle to do something else. I overstimulate all that time and stress about it. I don't know why I do like that. (sorry for my english)
"Self sabotaging your creativity" ME! I have recorded a lot of footage. 2 days ago I got into a moped accident and now I have NOTHING to do but sit on the couch with my laptop but for the life of me I can't bring myself to edit the footage! First, I am finna write out my trauma haha then I am going to just upload the footage. One step at a time right? Thank you for the advise Misako
Are you ok?! I'm so sorry that you got into an accident!!! I hope you're resting and taking care of yourself! Yes boo, write it all out. Sending you lots of love and wishing you a speedy recovery. 💜💜💜 Right, just one step at a time! And you know I self sabotage my creativity ALL the time so you're not alone!! Excited to see what you create after you heal!!
@@MisakoEnvela Yeah girl I'm fine. Just hobbling around like a toddler lol I'm sure I'll eventually make a click bait vlog called "So I was in an accident 😰😤." Thank you for the love.🤎You stay safe out there!
You're not alone! I do that ALL the time but you just have to keep reminding yourself that you're MORE THAN good enough!! Sending you lots of love! 💜💜💜
Lol.... you are overthinking and overanalyzing the process of NOT over-complicating things here. Just do it, if you're gonna do it at all. All the planning in the world (such as business plans) fail nor go as planned, you know why? because it was overcomplicated. What is the largest distance in the world? "how it is, versus the way you thought it would be". Few of us have pinpoint forethought, we are lucky if it all turned out the way we planned (whatever it was we planned to do). Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
i honestly don't need therapy i just watch your videos
I really needed this! My brain is constantly thinking of ways to stop ME from ME! It be your own self sometimes lol
agreed 🙃
"Your art does not have to be complicated to be good." I LOVE THAT!!
YASSS! I'm so happy it resonated with you! Thank you for taking the time to watch, Shayla! 💜

i agree with all the points you said, especially acting in the creative impulse as soon as it strikes before overthinking it!
YES! We're on the same wave, Lindsey! We just gotta go for it! 🧡👏🏽
I felt this with every fiber in my being. I am an over thinker to the max. Thank you for the tips! From one Creative to another, keep going!

I just love how real you are
About this overthinking yourself, I recently learned one frase that has worked out for me . "When You are not You , you are God "
That's such a good topic! I spend the same time talking myself out of doing something as the time that I need to actually complete it ..
SAME!!! I do that ALL of the time.
I think we owe it to ourselves to trust ourselves a little more! ❤
Thank you for this Misako. Your light and wisdom are very much appreciated
Love your vlogs. I would love to see a video on your favorite restaurants. Thanks.
your videos are so inspiring and relatable, i really needed to watch this today 🥺💞
omg i totally needed to hear this!
I can definitely relate, hence my channel not moving for a long time smh. But these tips were very helpful thank you!
This was such a great video! I love hearing your thoughts
You are so kind! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and listen💜
Love your content, this was beautiful, thank you!

Thank you for the inspiration!
I resonate with all that yoy said. I'm just addicted to my distractions😪
So happy this resonated with you, Viola! And GIRL you are not alone. You'd think my phone was super-glue to my hand 💜😂 SMH

Are u still at Mexico?
overthinking really is a disease😭.I've been trying to get out of this mindset by using the 5 second rule by Mel Ribbons
I’ve just binged watched a few videos... this one just happen to hit me spot on. Hyper sensitive creator. check.
lol this video does not apply to me but im still gonna watchhh
- honeypot films
i'm in love with you and that's what it is
