embrace the imperfections

One quote that has fundamentally shifted my outlook of my own art is, “overthinking is the enemy of creativity”. I am an over thinker by nature. Not just an over thinker but an incredibly anxious over thinker. My mind loves self doubt and being overly critical of my work. Not too uncommon for artists. But for me it's not just with my art. It’s nearly all aspects of my life. My social anxiety can at times feel crippling. My depressions casts a shadow of doubt on just about everything. As if my brain wasn’t already moving fast enough I am also a perfectionist who needs routines.
