What Would it Feel Like to Empty Yourself Creatively?

from The Moderately Tortured Artist · host Kimberley Smith

Do you have a sense of your own creative potential? For me, I can taste it and know instinctively that I've barely scratched the surface. But I also have a history of over-working and falling in a heap afterwards. So how can we be in perpetual creative motion and learning without striving, chasing self worth or exhausting ourselves? And what barriers need to be removed in order to make this happen? The term "emptying myself" feels like a good starting point because it challenges me in both the practice of showing up and making something (without judging if it's any good or not) and how deep I'm willing to take myself, how vulnerable and gritty and messy I'm willing to get. And even though the taste of it is audacious, it stops my imposter syndrome in its tracks because I'm not claiming to be an expert or even talented in the pursuit of "emptying myself" but I AM declaring that I've stopped screwing around. So as I explore this in the next few episodes, explore the question "What would emptying yourself creatively feel like and look like for you?"
