One thing that motivates me is to be kinder to myself. I know from experience that if I quiet the demoralizing sell-talk, I can remember that my way of noticing things allows for unique and valuable work.
I can create good works when I focus on small steps that don’t overwhelm me. Whether those steps be for art, for activities of compassion toward others, or in everyday tasks. After I complete a small step it’s easier to see what the next step should be. Seeing that next step within reach is motivating.
“trying to shame myself by focusing on something being “important” (which doesn’t motivate me)” is what I keep doing over and over, with the expected poor outcomes.
Perfect timing! I committed to completing my debut memoir manuscript by year end, and this series will be a valuable resource. First pages to publisher on Monday! Thanks for lighting the way!❤️
Create for sure, without a doubt. When I am creating, I am so focused, but then when I have to use that creativity and "execute", that is where there are problems. Alas, I keep on trying.

I love your thoughtful compassionate approach!
Great post. Looking forward to more.

Relatable I used shame as motivation for a very long time!
