Patience - How to get it done, even when it takes longer than you want | The 9th "P" for a Creative Life

18m · Tapping Creativity · 15 Nov 06:00

What is patience in creative work? Hint: it’s not waiting. 

Patience doesn't mean waiting for the right time to do something - which is a big fallacy that people fall for. Patience is not for the doing, it's for the completion and outcome.

I hope this episode will illuminate you on how you can be more patient with yourself and your process, and get clear about when you’re doing something else in the name of patience.

Also here is a worksheet here called a letter of forgiveness. I want you to write a letter to yourself forgiving yourself for anything you've said that you would do but you haven’t. Forgive yourself for not being further along in your creative process or your creative life or this project.

And here’s a worksheet to review your work  - with a view towards the future
