Staying confidently unconcerned

Creative confidence is fickle.

But staying unconcerned helps. This means detaching from metrics or outcomes and limiting expectations.

For me, this means having a “whatever” or “f*ck it, let’s see what happens” type of attitude.

Care — but care about the right things (like fun and your mindset).

Staying unconcerned with outcomes or quality takes practice, awareness and intention. But it’s always worth it. It helps me stay happy-go-lucky and creatively confident.

Because not every creative decision will be the right one. Creativity is an exploration in trying new things, allowing yourself to look dumb and tinkering without goals or expectations.

When we worry too much, we lose our confidence, cap our creativity and limit our innovative potential.

Let’s not do that.

So I say — who cares. Stay unconcerned. Be carefree. Create like there’s no social media.

And of course, have fun.
