How to Find Your Own Creative Mantra - Martine Severin

from This is How We Create · host Martine Severin

I recently spent time hiking the Four Corners (you know, the area in the US where the states of Utah, Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico form corners). After pushing my body to its limits, I ended up on a massage table where an unexpected mantra changed my perspective.  This mantra made me ask: if we have mantras for meditation and our bodies, why not for our creative practice? We, as creatives, spend so much time battling imposter syndrome and the endless feelings of "not enough". Why not use mantras to help us dip into the springwell of our creativity.   Chapters 00:00 Welcome: A Mantra I Didn't Know I Needed  00:40 Hiking the Four Corners and a Body at Its Limit  01:20 The Mantra: "I Am Grounded in the Earth"  02:15 The Realization: Why Not a Mantra for Our Work?  02:45 Battling the "Not Enough" Voice  03:20 This Isn't Toxic Positivity  04:15 How to Find Your Own Creative Mantra  05:20 My Mantra (Right Now)  06:30 Your Turn: Let It Ground You   Support the Show Website: https://www.martineseverin.com/ Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/martine.severin/ | https://www.instagram.com/thisishowwecreate_ Subscribe to the Newsletter: https://www.martineseverin.substack.com/   This is How We Create is produced by Martine Severin.
