ENTRY#3 - WORST CRITIC EVER

*WORST CRITIC EVER*

Definitely, THE WORST CRITIC EVER! I give myself too much pressure especially, when I think of an idea that I'd love to do. But the thing is, I would usually critique myself even before there is something to critique. It's horrible...

I so often judge what I'm doing, while I'm doing it and it leads to what ifs and even me not starting that idea at all. Nothing shambles your creativity better than that voice inside your head telling you that what you haven't even started, sucks.

It's a frustrating feeling! :( 

The fear of judgment and the pressure to do things right or make things good can make a person feel hesitant.

I remember every time I decided to make a cover of a song I started to like. (And at first, it would seem like a great idea..) I would start listening to the song over and over again while memorizing the lyrics. But as I finish shooting the video and I start to watch what I did,that tiny voice inside my head would just start doing its job at making me feel nervous and doubtful if that video would even be noticed. I had a lot of videos that would never see the light of day because of that. 

 It's a bad habit of mine and I realized that it's such a stupid feeling to deal with. Is it just me? I hope so. Cuz` it's that bad. I wouldn't wish anyone else to have it. But..

If you ever get to this point just remember:

*JUST DO IT. 

I know Nike said it first but its true. Not doing it at all might even feel worse than you think.

*STOP OVER-ANALYZING AND PUTTING THIS IMMENSE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE COMING FROM NOWHERE BUT YOUR HEAD. 

It won't do you any good. It can screw you up. Big time. It's okay to plan about it  but not to the point where you're not gonna start at all. Balance it out.

* NO REGRETS JUST LESSONS LEARNED. 

If whatever idea you had and started to do didn't work-out, cheer up! It's going to be okay. Accept it. Charge it to experience. XP Gained. New lesson acquired. New YOU level up! :)

I feel like we all tend to be our own worst critics. It's just a matter of how you handle that tiny voice. You know most of the people in your  life and the whole world is going to tell you..

"You're not good enough!"

"You can't do this! You can't do that either!"

"Why even try?"

"Why even bother?"

So, why do we need to hear that from ourselves as well?

As a conclusion to this, I will leave you with a favorite quote of mine:

Thanks for reading. :)
