Changing Project Mentality

Hello Raven Family!

As I right this I have just put together why I procrastination was happening. (if you haven't read my procrastination and projects blog I would go get a read).

I got the thought that my procrastination wasn’t due to being in a lower mental state. I was due to boredom. I currently have the creature project nearly done (I have semi painted it). I have been working on my Pumpkin guy but realized just a few moments before I have grown bored of it. I want a new Idea. Another possibility is the steps in which I need to complete it is a bit daunting. Realistically its not bad but in my head I feel I need to do it now and It does the opposite. I don’t want to due it cause I’m telling myself to. As well as The steps in which I need to accomplish it.

So in theory It isn’t all mental but I do need to change my thoughts on it. To give myself a deadline but one that is reasonable. To let myself want to start other small projects that intrigue me. To allow myself to have breaks from that project. TO work on that project bit by bit and not have my mind tell me it has to be done now.

What I have heard from many artists online say is to enjoy the creation. To embrace the way its being made and how you are making it in your own way.

I believe I need to start to change that mindset of my art projects cause sometimes I don’t like the project in the end cause of my thinking of the process. I don’t like some projects cause the person in my head tells me it could be better…however, that is a mental change that needs to be talked to with my therapist.

Thank you all! have a lovely day! Stay spooky! Bless it be!
