What's up everybody? Welcome back to the Sheer Creativity Podcast, the podcast about creatives for creatives, and today is a short episode that hopefully you'll come back to, to listen to whenever you need it. These are affirmations for your creative soul, things that I've been telling myself throughout my creative journey, and I figured that you might enjoy hearing them too. So sit back, relax, and enjoy. I am proud of everything I've created thus far this year. I am proud of the lessons I've learned and the person I have become. Everything is possible for me in this lifetime. The sky is not the limit. I can go beyond. I refuse to compare myself with others. I am in a lane by myself and I'm conquering the race of my own success. Everything I create doesn't have to be perfect. I forgive myself for not being the perfect creative or the perfect person. I will fall short and I will always give back up again. My sacrifices now to create the life that I want are not in vain. Times make it tough, but I am strong enough to make it through, to create the life that I want to live. I create to be not to do. Creativity stems from me simply being in the moment. I will not be distracted by doing that I miss the beauty of being. I don't despise my small beginning. A strong, small beginning indicates a strong sustainable finish. My limitations now will become my strengths later. I don't have to have everything figured out at this current moment. I still have time to achieve my dreams and I won't allow anyone to rush my process, not even myself. I have the courage to live the dreams I imagine. I am not just another voice in the crowd. I bring unique experiences, life lessons, thoughts and advice to the world. My existence in this world is powerful. I am powerful. I am still valuable even when creating is not my main focus. I am allowed to take breaks, to reassess and to disappear from what I'm creating for a given amount of time. I don't work on creative projects. I play with them. I am allowed to be like a child when it comes to creating, when it comes to life. I can explore, I can dream, and I won't allow fear to dictate my decisions. I am strong enough to conquer my fears. I don't subscribe to hustle culture. I am a human being who deserves rest and needs rest. When I am depleting, I can rest knowing that I've done all I can and I did a great job doing it. My worth is not tied to an algorithm or virality that I can't control. I am still valuable with three likes or 300 likes. I am a voice of encouragement to everyone I touch through my work, through my attitude, and through my life. I affect the sphere of influence that I have with positivity, with joy, and with excitement. I refuse to live in stress and anxiety about the future. I live one day at a time and I will not allow the world to convince me that I'm falling behind. I am overflowing with new ideas and inspirations. Everyone doesn't have to love every decision that I make but when I look in the mirror, I admire and I love the person who looks back at me. My creations. Anything that touches my hands does not require the approval of others to be valued. I am proud of the artistry I create. I am proud of the person I am, and that's all that matters. There may be many voices, there may be many people in the world who are already doing what I want to do. But they will never sound like me. There are many voices, but they don't sound like me and they never will. I am unique. I never know who I am touching through my life and my obedience to the craft that is calling me to create. There is a call on my life to create, to be. Someone's opinion of me is not fact. They're free to feel how they feel. I have no control over an opinion, but I do know my value. Someone else may have had the idea, but they don't have my execution. Sure, some people say that there's nothing new under the sun, but everything that leaves my hands is completely original. I am an original. I am irreplaceable. My life is overflowing with new concepts, new outlooks, new lessons and I'm excited for the future. I'm excited for what my life will look like 10 years from now. I have the power to be consistent. I have the power to change the course of the world. I am never too young. I am never too old. Everything is on time. I release everything that doesn't serve me in this current time. I apologize to myself for unrealistic expectations. I release them. I exhale all of the stress that I've put on myself. I inhale growth. I inhale peace in knowing that I'm doing what I love and if I'm not doing what I love, if it changes, I'm allowed to change course. I'm allowed to change my mind. I'm allowed to not be what people expect. I too am a work of art. Much like what I create, I am created myself, and I'm putting together this mosaic of my life and I'm loving the artwork that I'm seeing. I hope that you love the artwork you are creating that is your life. Sometimes you have to confront your thoughts by standing in a mirror and declaring these affirmations over your life. There is power in your tongue, in your words, and this week. I just want you guys to be mindful of that, of what you say to yourself, of what you speak over yourself. What you speak over what you create, what you speak over the people in your life, you know? And for me personally, I wanna make sure that the words that I say about my creative journey, about my individual person, I wanna make sure that I am affirming myself and the people around me. So I want you guys to feel affirmed by this episode. If you ever need somebody to speak into you, please turn me on again. Like definitely come back to this episode if you feel less than as a creative or as a person. First and foremost, you are a person. I hope you guys enjoyed this shorter, more reflective episode. I definitely enjoyed it just saying it, it's something that I'm getting used to as well. I had wrote down this script of all the affirmations that I wanted to say, and in the middle of saying them, I just started to get more and that was exciting to me. I just started to get more things that I wanted to share with myself, more things that I wanted to share with you guys.
