Hone your self-leadership skills: The Creator's Mental Toolbox.
Your mindset is your biggest asset.
"Find your Niche,” they say, so I am busy looking.
But I don’t really bother calling anything a ‚niche’ - I just follow what I find the most relevant in my digital creator’s journey.
I am building The Creator’s Mental Toolbox.
Here are 5 concepts I will be exploring in 2023, all related to self-leadership skills.
By self-leadership, I mean: setting goals aligned with your values and executing them successfully while navigating the not-so-calm waters of life and staying sane.
Here are the ingredients for my Inner Game cocktail:
1. Curiosity- the primer for Creativity.
It’s the spice of life and the source of creativity.
Where does it come from?
Can we be more curious?
How to ask better questions?
To be creative, you need to be curious; to be curious, you need to be present.
2. Growth mindset - the power of YET.
Blends well with Bias Towards Action.
Not getting what you want? Yet.
No idea what you’re doing? Yet.
3. Resilience- dealing with:
uncertainty
discouragement
resistance
imposter syndrome
Resilience is probably the single most important quality in the creator’s toolbox, and today we need it more than ever.
4. Focus.
Are you with me still, or have you moved to something shinier already?
I get it; it’s not easy to stay focused. But in 2023, we’re heading to our mental gym to work on that focus muscle!
5. Commitment.
We often perceive commitments as limitations, but they can also be liberating. Choices are distractions, and commitment actually makes us happier.
We like more what we commit to.
If that list sparked your curiosity ( see what I did there?), follow along, and let’s add some tools to your toolkit and pack well for the creator's quest!
