Creativity Isn’t Magic-It’s Motion

- If you’re waiting for motivation to strike, you’re waiting for the wrong thing.
For years, I thought creativity was something mystical-a fleeting spark that would arrive when the time was right. So I waited. And waited. But the more I waited, the harder it became to start. I was stuck in a cycle of overthinking, self-doubt, and hesitation, convincing myself that when I felt ready, I’d finally create.
But here’s the truth: Creativity doesn’t come from motivation. It comes from movement.
In this video, we’ll break down:
🔥 Why relying on motivation is a trap that keeps creators stuck.
🔥 How overthinking and self-doubt kill momentum.
🔥 The neuroscience behind why action leads to motivation (not the other way around).
🔥 Practical ways to push past hesitation and create-even when you don’t feel like it.
You don’t need to feel inspired to start. You just need to start. Take action first, and the creativity will follow.

"You'll find your best ideas in motion..."
Thank you so much.
@@fla01003 so glad you resonated with this!
Great stuff mate , very timely in my life as I reinvent myself at 61. Ready, fire , aim ; got it. And you’re right , the answers come as you move. I was here 30 years ago and so I know from experience that what you say is true. Now that you’ve reminded me, I’m moving on my next opportunity project, today 🙏👍🏻Thank you 😊

"Act first...Inspiration often follows"
Great video and this is absolutely true! Recently been making myself draw a few times a week, even if the timing doesn’t feel perfect or if it’s after work and I’m tired - do it anyway!
@@FarahBoddenArt thats awesome! YES, do it “anyway”
I am the pinnacle of research, procrastination, buying gear, planning, thinking, talking…and doing NOTHING! What the heck is the SPECIFIC problem? How are so many other people able to get so much done?!?!
I desperately needed this TODAY! I have to DO SOMETHING!!!
@@michaelyolch79 I myself was soooo preoccupied with GAS (gear acquisition syndrome) I think my issue went even deeper - GAD (gear acquisition disorder)!
@@bokehbushido The amount of money I've spent on just music gear alone is truly obscene. Quite sickening actually. While people always joke about GAS, the serious truth of the matter is that it IS a literal addiction for some people like it was for me. I never even realized it until a few years ago when my wife said..."You do understand that this is an actual addiction, don't you?" I had no idea. My entire family are all hardcore alcoholics. I have no other addictions...but buying gear for decades is how it manifested itself in me. Thank God I'm over it these days. Ugh.
@@michaelyolch79 What you shared really highlights how easy it is to minimize our engagement with gas, even when it can develop into a genuine compulsive behavior or addiction. What also stood out to me is that, much like myself, the family environment you grew up in may have made you more vulnerable to getting caught up in it. It’s incredible that your wife was able to share her perspective with you. I completely relate to what you mentioned-I didn’t become an alcoholic like my father, but my pain found other ways to manifest, just as you described.
@ Thank you for sharing. I REALLY appreciate you and your channel. Onward! Upward!
Great video! I have been struggling with finding a purpose to put my full attention towards, and I recently realized I might as well try and ask successful people where their motivations stem from in order to help myself learn. I plan on documenting this and sharing it with the world. Thank you for the push.
Great action plan - do it! Keep me updated
Thank you for sharing!! Sometimes I get this boost or hit of creativity but most of the time it comes to me when I schedule “creative brainstorm sessions”
this is very valuable advice. thanks. love and respect from istanbul
So glad I found your channel! Thanks a bunch!❤🎉
@@vivianhudacek1556 So glad you are resonating with my content - thank you!
Excellent !
@@tahitihawaiiblue thank you!
I overthink all of the time, like I worry about my work being derided as unrealistic, cliche, badly written.
I'm glad that I've found your channel. I'm in my 40s, and I feel an urge to create, stronger than ever before. Sadly, I haven't found a medium to channel that feeling and make it real. I hope to find some clues in your videos.
@kJarzyna242 I’m so glad you’re here! That creative urge is a powerful sign that something meaningful is waiting to be expressed. Exploring different mediums with an open heart will lead you to the right one. Keep seeking, experimenting, and trusting the process-your creativity will find its way out!
Hello friends 😊
Louis! Hope all is well friend!
@ thank you my dear friend
You are dead right mate… I’m gonna act right now
@@jimmytamley3965 YES - get at it!
