Ep.39 The Attention Traps Creatives Fall Into

Turning 39 & Done With Overthinking!This episode started with a simple question I heard in a video:“Am I in enough places to be seen?”A good question.A useful question.But within minutes I caught myself wondering if I was visible enough, doing enough, showing up in the “right” places to move my life forward.And that’s when I realized something uncomfortable.Those questions weren’t even mine.In this episode I talk about attention and the invisible force shaping our creative lives more than we realize. Every post we scroll, every voice we listen to, every idea we absorb becomes part of the lens through which we see our own work.Sometimes inspiration fuels us.Sometimes it quietly turns into a measuring stick.I also share the shift moving towards lately, and what I’ve been calling my “unthinking era.”Less overthinking.Less comparison.More creating.This episode is about recognizing when your attention has drifted away from your own path and how to bring it back.Because what you pay attention to doesn’t just influence your creativity.It becomes the blueprint for your life.In this episode we talk about:• Why attention is the most important creative decision you make• The subtle trap when inspiration turns into comparison• How other people's advice can accidentally derail your own path• What my new “unthinking era” actually means• Simple ways to redirect your attention when your mind starts overthinking.If this episode resonates, send it to someone who might need the reminder too. That genuinely helps the show grow.And thank you for being here for Episode 39.Keep Creating :)
