CREATIVE BLOCK IS NATURAL but how do you overcome it?

[@warmdatastudio]

you're doing great, dude! (: yt recommended the "start youtube now" video to me and then I watched this one - and your videos immediately felt personal to me and like we're just hanging out and chatting, I like that. so, I subscribed (: personally, consistency is one of the hardest things ever for me (just got diagnosed with add at 30 y/o, so it finally makes sense to me why haha), so I'm trying to learn how to do that - but I totally relate to the fact that I also want to grow and improve and not remain stagnant in that consistency...but then I spiral into my perfectionism and pressure myself and I get stuck at doing nothing, out of fear :D I think that's where patience comes in, as well. because I guess, it's just different stages of the same journey - first, you get going with the consistency, which helps you get familiar with the process and make a habit/routine out of it (because starting something new costs more energy than sustaining a running system, right?) - and then, when it starts to feel more natural to you, you'll have more energy to spend on thinking about and acting towards improving and growing...does that make sense? just a thought...it's different for everyone anyways :D Also, I also felt that statement about how videos turn out differently, even if scripted so much!! I have 4 or 5 videos that turned out so different, that I didn't want to upload them. the one I'm working on now is, again, a bit different from what I imagined - but I decided to upload it anyways, once it's finished...because that's just how creativity plays with you and by allowing it to play with me, it will allow me to slowly let go of my perfectionism, I think (: but yeah, enjoyed watching this (do you have a background in video editing? your videos are stunning, love the color correction and shot compositions etc.!) and listening to your thoughts on this (who cares if you're an expert, you got your own perspective and experience and that's what's so interesting about it)! I love these kinds of topics!^^ I could go on and on haha sorry for the novel - happy holidays! (:

@@warmdatastudio SUCH A GOATED COMMENT! Your perception is spot on and I agree and can relate with everything you said. I have felt that way for so long but at some point I think it’s just being able to let go of the thought on making something perfectly because I know I am nowhere near that myself and I no longer want to put the pressure of having to make something at that level. But again I think it all comes from the habit of comparing ourselves and I would never want someone else to not share their art or voice solely because they don’t think they are good enough when it’s in fact the exact opposite. And yea the process is different for everyone but if my words/actions can help someone navigate through their troubles is all I wish to accomplish. I am also glad you understood the fact of just trying to work on the consistency to a point it’s just natural and in that way I can expand and strategize my workflow more efficiently. It is very funny how you can start with an idea but it can completely change into something else along the process of creating it lol. If you were to embrace your whole self and utilize the topic of add I feel it positively impact you and others, as it makes you relatable in and give others inspiration. Unfortunately I don’t have a background in any type of editing, I have just messed around with dance videos in the past 🤣 to be honest, half the time I have no idea what I am doing. I would say I have like basic knowledge but mainly just do things that look good to me. I appreciate you for tapping in and showing love, this comment means a lot to me and I also am looking forward to witnessing your growth! Just start putting it out there everyone wants to see authenticity and to be able to witness the process. Just be you
