'Imperfect, but Important' - That sounds like a great motto for life. Think I'm going to try that on, walk around for a while, and see how it fits me. :)
Heck yeah, Luke! Report back! 🤗
Here's my issue....time. I know I waste it. I feel overwhelmed with caretaking and sick senior dogs, commissions, etc. I want to start a TH-cam channel, but I don't know how to edit videos. I don't feel like I have time for learning all that, so instead, I buy "things" that will come in handy when I start my TH-cam, and that's as far as I get. I need to get my webpage going. I haven't finished it. I think I have so many things that I think I should be doing to be successful and all I get is overwhelmed and more and more supplies. Maybe I'm scared to fail. I really don't know. Thanks for this video though. I'm happy for your success.
I know exactly how you feel as I have been there. I understand being a caretaker can be very draining emotionally and even physically. My challenge to you would be try and shift your mindset from “I can’t” to “how can I?” I realize sometimes even that shift can be daunting and a challenge. Life has seasons… some are more fruitful and energetic than others. At the end of the day, you have the answer within you. And when you’re ready, you will not only know, but you will hold space for the things which you’ve always want to do. The tiniest steps can have the biggest impact. ❤️
@@GinnyStLawrence great advice, girl! Love the "how can I?" Something I know I should do, but don't always remember. Thanks for pointing me back in the right direction. Blessings to you!
So you ever sit on the toilet? That’s there. Doodle or something.
I love this, G. I avoid starting things because in my mind I should already be good at things, but in reality of course I'm not!! Being good at things comes with time and practice and just starting!!
Man I feel this! I gotta say, embracing the beginners mindset is so clutch tho! 👌
"The master has failed more times than the student has even tried."
I love this quote!
I'm with you on this one!!! You've just described me and my life. This video is great for being short, informative, and very inspiring. Like a little kick in the butt from a friend. Thank you for your authenticity ❤
🫶 amen! We’re all in this together, figuring it out. Thanks so much for being here 🙏
I feel so called out 😅 but in a good way. Thank you
😂 I feel this!
this is my sign to grow my TH-cam channel. Thank you Ginny!
Do it!! I started really posting on mine in March of this year. It’s a lot of fun!
Absolutely! 💪 Starting is often the hardest part, but taking that first step, even if it's small, can lead to incredible journeys and achievements. Keep moving forward, one tiny adjustment at a time, and watch as those small efforts accumulate into something extraordinary.
So very true!
This is so me. I'm getting back into art after so many years and trying to find my style. I spent SO much time researching and watching "how to find your art style" and not doing much art. I finally realized I was just scared to create the funky (not in a good way) art that comes along with that style quest, but finally committed to doing some art everyday. I basically made an appointment with myself for 30 minutes a day to sketch and it made all the difference. We all take care of a lot of people in our lives, but we need to also make our goals a priority.
Thank you for posting this, Ginny! It helps to know a professional artist goes through this, too. Take care and looking forward to your content as a new sub.
Me too!!😅
Same here: so much research and so little action because of fear of imperfection.
Now telling myself: just start. And giving myself 20mins just to have that motion, show myself that good will.
I love this!! Sounds like the artists dates from the book The Artists Way, which I’m a big fan of!! As it pertains to art style, I’m in the camp of explore it and embrace the potential range of styles that you may unearth. No need to pigeon hole to one set or dedicated thing forever. The core of who you are will always be represented in your art…. But there will be shifts here and there both personally and artistically.
Basically, don’t stress it too much and just make art that you enjoy making and that you like. It’s okay if it changes over time, that’s totally natural. Oh, and it’s totally okay to make funky or ugly or bad art… all just part of the process! ❤️Proud you’re back to creating.. it’s so important!!!
@@MichelleRodriguez-rv6gg I'm glad I'm not the only one!
@@lubaroshchyna8920 So happy for you! It's hard to break that rut, but we did it!
Everything you said in this video is ME 🤯!
Over the last few years, I've slowly 🐌 been coming to the conclusion of just starting. I've always liked the known and predictable rather than the unknown and unpredictable. I didn't know my beliefs were limiting me and that perfectionism isn't a good thing. It kept me from starting.
This was encouraging to me. Thank you, and God bless you ❤.
I’m glad you found this useful! Perfectionism is such a trap. Be brave and try something different! 🫶 you got this
Love this Ginny! I always get stuck in overthinking and chronic perfectionism. Thanks for the reminder about the importance of failure!
So glad this resonated with you, Elle! ❤️ We all struggle with the mental hurdle of perfectionism, so you’re not alone! You’re also a total badass, so whatever you touch will be successful. Go for it!
Omg..sounds familiar! My problem is i,m a perfectionist! I just recently got back into my art! After putting it on hold for so many years! Sorry I did,nt start back sooner!
Keep going!!
Love this! If there is ONE life lesson we all need to learn and embrace is to get out of our own way. So important. Thanks for sharing this, Ginny!
So true! Thanks so much John. Hope you’re having a great week!
@@GinnyStLawrence Always my pleasure! We are rocking this week; right?!
This video was the last push I needed to just do it! I’ve been creating my whole life and after watching this I finally started posting! I really can’t believe how much happier I feel overall! So, huge thank you! Your stuff has been incredibly inspirational.
This is fantastic!! I’m proud of you 👏 keep at it and enjoy the process. Any art or creation is best when shared with the world! ❤️
I just came across this video. ❤️🙏 Thank you.
Hi again!! Thanks so much for being here, stopping by, dropping some love. 🙏 You rock and keep creating!
I, too, have that proclivity of wanting as much information as possible before starting something. Though I think it's more a C-PTSD response than anything ADHD related. Working on alleviating that, though.
It’s always a work in progress
Don’t let perfection be the enemy of the good enough
One of my dad’s favorite quotes!
Exactly what I needed to hear without knowing what I needed to hear 😂❤
Thank you for doing these videos of encouragement! Many blessings sista!
You are so very welcome 🙏 I’m glad you found my channel! Thanks for watching and leaving some ❤️
Wow I can totally relate, much like you I stopped making videos when I reached around 300 subscribers. I also tend to overthink things and want everything to be perfect. I've even filmed a few more videos and not released them, feeling they weren't quite good enough. You've reminded me that it's better to just start (or start again) and not worry about perfection. Appreciate the inspiration and motivation! 💖👍🏼
Thanks for sharing this! You are not alone. Hopefully you get back into the swing of things when you’re ready ❤️
thank you in a moment of needing to hear lol , i hope u have a good day
You are so welcome. It’s been an awesome day, wishing you an even better one 🙏
Thank you again! I'm just like you; overthinking, analysis paralysis, perfectionism, etc. ❤
Anytime! Two peas in a pod!🫛 the overthinking is the worst! But I think I’m managing okay 🤔 😂
Your video popped up on my feed at just the right time. I started TH-cam about a year ago, and then I quit; it just became too much to try to fit in with everything else I had going on at the time. That said, I've recently been considering starting it up again, especially in the last couple of days, and then I saw this video today. All that to say, I'm very thankful that you decided to post this video, and even more so for the message (and proof) that it's never too late to try (or start) again...and, as you put it, all that remains now is that I "just start." Thanks again, Ginny, and best of luck to you as you continue your personal and professional journeys!! 💫
Thanks so much for sharing your story. It’s definitely never too late to start or start again. Thank you for the kind words of encouragement and I’m sending them right back and wishing you all the success in your journey!! ❤️ ✨
I do the same thing when it comes to writing a movie script , i just write instead of thinking to hard about lines but when it cones to writting stand up jokes i am pretty fast with it
Overthinking can sometimes ruin the flow!!!
That's exactly what i am working on. It is so hard to start fir me, but then i love it and can not stop😅
Just start! Just start. So true!
I know exactly the feeling!
Thank you!
You're so incredibly welcome! 🤗
I don't have a problem with starting. My challenge is to keep going when I don't see any meaningful results. That is the problem. How do you keep going when your motivation has sunk?
I understand exactly. For me, going outside and taking a walk for 20-30 minutes, journaling, and trying to identify why I have friction around a certain thing typically helps me. Then I set a timer for 5 minutes, and do the thing until the timer goes off. If I want more time, I keep going. If I’m annoyed/demotivated, I stop. But at least I gave it 5 minutes. Hope this helps you! ❤️
New subscriber and I dig it! This video is right on point🙏
Thank you so much and welcome aboard, Matthew! 🙏
This is wonderful thank you!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it 🤗
yeppp this is me. I wanted to get back to having an art shop and freelance illustration .wanted to have my illustration portfolio done by June - which is next month. NONE OF THIS HAPPENING. :) ugh
All good! I often fall behind schedule because I tend to overcrowd my plate. Little baby steps! One action each day to get closer towards whatever it is you’re trying to achieve. You got this
Solid Advice. I tend to throw myself 100% into something and then realizing I chewed off waaaaaay too much. So currently trying to increase my videos, but wanting to 'do or die' (once again) I figured I'd jump straight back into once a week a long form video, which in reality is a huge stretch with the time I have available. So now I'm trying to show up at least twice a month with long form content and 2 times a week with shorts. Just until that becomes normal and runs smooth and then increase the amount I publish. It's those small micro changes. Funny enough, I actually just started applying that to household chores. Instead of mopping my entire floor, hurting myself and exhausting myself in the process, I just do a small section every day for the week and it's clean by the end of the week (just to be messed up again by 4 kids, but at least I don't feel overwhelmed).
Yes! Always the small, incremental changes that make the biggest impact. Kaizen!
I was needing to hear that😮
Happy to have helped! 🙏
Thank you for this!!
You're so welcome! Thank you for watching 🙏
Sometimes we just need a video like this to keep going. Thank you Ginny! :)
You are so welcome!
Very helpful, well done
Glad you think so!
"Just do it" is what I tell myself.
Truly the best slogan of all times
Cool...was reading a book today called atomic habits and then came across this video. Great video it helps, really.
That’s a great book!! 📚 thanks for watching! Have an awesome weekend
❤ thankyou ❤
Happy to be of help!
Love your insights and the way you come across in a genuinely caring way,, so inspiring. I also have ADHD and find it so hard to get anything done.. after listening to you, I let go and smashed a painting out... much love and warm feelings,,, thanks again,,,, your awesome 👣
🥹🥹🥹 way to make my day!! ❤️ ADHD is a real drag, but also somehow a super power. 😂 thanks for being here and I’m so happy you’re letting go and being creatively productive. 💪 I love to hear more people out there making things! 🙏
Thank you Ginny
You are so welcome Eric!
That’s me - still stacking 😂
Haha, keep stacking! 💪
Random question: what are you using to create the handwriting animation at the end?
Great question! Final Cut Pro on the iPad has the option for “handwriting” which allows for you to hand write something and it overlays onto a specific video clip. You can adjust how fast or slow it writes, etc. Kinda neat! There is also a way to do it in Fresco! But I typically just use what’s native to the editing app there in Final Cut on the iPad! Let me know if you have any follow up questions on this!
Eu entendo perfeitamente o que você diz, é importante que façamos e será perfeitamente imperfeito no início, mas o que é a perfeição? Penso que é uma aglomerado de pequenas imperfeições. Gratidão por suas palavras.
This is beautifully put Joyce! ❤️
Thank you. I needed to hear this today!🌟🦜
You are so welcome 🤗
