Creative Processing Defined: Activating your creative mind to process a certain intention.
CREATIVE PROCESSING CHALLENGE: PROCRASTINATION & PERFECTIONISM
Step 1: Before engaging in the exercises, set this intention:
-
The purpose of [WRITING/CREATING] is to process [PROCRASTINATION & PERFECTIONISM] and reframe [MY PERSPECTIVE TO TAKE MEANINGFUL ACTION].
-
When we approach creative processing with intention, we open ourselves up to real transformation.
Step 2: Where are you waiting?
-
Identify areas in your life where you’re waiting for the “perfect” moment to take action (career, health, relationships, creativity, etc.).
-
Ask yourself: What small step can I take today?
Step 3: List Small Steps Forward
-
Take one of those areas and break it down into the smallest possible action steps to move forward.
-
Remember: Done beats perfect.
Step 4: Reflect
-
How can YOU embrace imperfection and focus on progress rather than perfection?
-
Write about a time when imperfection led to something unexpectedly great.
