Are not the ones we want to let do the handwork, the grunt work, the creative work for us.
Caring a lot about doing good work doesn’t mean you need to listen to the voices in your head critiquing your work, constantly whispering that it could be better, that you might as well give up because you won’t get it perfect, and it should be perfect.
Real creative work – the valuable stuff – comes from shunning the voices in your head and speaking as a human, just putting yourself out there.
You may not create something remarkable on your first shot, but it gives you a better place to work from than if you think too much about it (and people who think too much are really saying they’re talking with the voices in their end, trying to reason with them, and there simply is no reasoning with the lizard brain).
We have 60 seconds before the lizard brain speaks up when we’re faced with a decision to purchase a product or not. I’ve noticed the same time frame when pitching on the phone and writing creative posts for clients.
60 seconds before we begin to lose our human touch and the lizard brain takes over.
Follow your heart when purchasing. Don’t think about all the scenarios that can happen once you dial the phone, just pick it up and go. And most importantly, write right away. You can always return the product, give someone else a call, and revise your writing.
The point is to start and speak from the heart, not the head.
Stay Positive & Don’t Let The Voices In Your Head Stop You
