          082: Getting over the fear of the blank page

          The idea of starting with a blank page can be pretty scary, so today I want to offer you an antidote to that, that you can come back to time and time again.

           
           

          Episode transcript:

          Good morning, Daily Peppers, and a very happy Thursday to you. You're listening to the Daily Pep, which is the only daily podcast for creative and multi passionate women. And today we're diving into something that we all struggle with, and that is the fear of the blank page. Now, this could be quite literal if you are a writer or an artist, or maybe it's starting a new project or starting some kind of new endeavor, which on one hand feels really exciting, but on the other hand feels pretty terrifying. Now, whether it's literally a blank page or not, it's fair to say it can be pretty overwhelming. The idea of starting with nothing can leave us feeling pretty much just stuck and it can take away any sense of progress and just stop us in our tracks and really put a dampener on our momentum. So today I want to offer you an antidote to that and I want to give you a question that I think will help the next time you're facing a blank page, the next time you have no ideas, or the next time you feel uninspired and need a bit of that momentum back. And the question is this.

          What do you wish existed in the world? What is something you would love to see more of? What's something that isn't talked about enough? What is a story that you would love to see in the world? What is one thing that you just crave, that you just can't get enough of or that just simply doesn't exist? Because there will always be people who are after the very things you crave? So much of the time we think that we're facing our struggles alone, but the truth is that whatever you're struggling with or whatever you wish existed in the world, there are other people craving the exact same thing. So many of the things that you listen to, you watch, you read, or you look at, they're created with this very question in mind. I know I created the Daily Pet because it was the one thing that I craved and the one thing that I wish existed. I to help me keep going as a creative and multi passionate woman. The things you wish existed in the world often say a lot about you, and often they're things that only you can do. You get to make it as you as possible. You get to have fun. You get to inject your humor, your stories, your experiences, and the combination of all of those things and your skills and your strengths that combine in a way that means they are completely unique to you.

          So the next time you get stuck, have a think about what you wish existed. And then whatever medium you create with. Go make something like we were talking about yesterday. Making things doesn't have to be this huge momentous thing, and the thing that you wish existed in the world doesn't have to be this huge purposeful thing that saves the planet. It can be something that you wish existed that would make you laugh. It doesn't have to be a masterpiece. It doesn't have to be the final thing you create. It can just be a great jumping off point.

          It can be really simple and it can be really tiny. But use this as a starting off point and just see where it takes you. And I can't wait to see what you create. As always, you can reach me over on Instagram egkisak or you can email me@megathumbingbirdlife.com while sometimes it might take me a bit longer than I'd like to respond because I'm a one woman band, please know that you will get a response and I love hearing from you. Have a fabulous day, Daily Peppers, and I can't wait to see you back here tomorrow.

                          So much of the reason we find to hard to start or carry on with creative projects is because we fear getting it wrong. But what if you knew that creativity by definition is impossible to do wrong?

                                  069: What if the answer's right under your nose?

                                  So often we automatically overlook the most simple answers - but what if things aren’t complicated as you think they are? That’s what we’re diving into on today’s episode of The Daily Pep!

                                   
                                   

                                  Episode transcript:

                                  Good morning, Daily Peppers, and a very happy Thursday to you. It's nearly the end of the week. We've almost made it. And here's to not listening to the voice of your inner dream shitter. And here's to keeping going. So the other night, I had horrendous hiccups. It was the middle of the night. I woke mister Meg up. And he just looked at me and just said, have you tried holding your breath? Now usually, I reply with a snarky comment or I would roll my eyes. But I just thought, do you know what? It never works, but let's just give it a go for the sake of it. And much to my surprise, and it pissed me off a little bit, it actually worked.


                                  And I'm sharing this random story about hiccups with you today because because so much of the time when we come across things that are challenging, when we come across creative problems, when we when we deal with things like that, we immediately dismiss the simple things and the things under our nose. We assume that the solution is gonna be this huge convoluted thing and we get really creative about it and we really dive into all the possible things we could do. And so often we forget that sometimes the answer is quite simple and sometimes we just completely ignore the most obvious things because we're so busy trying to think outside the box because we think that's the only way we're gonna find the solution. So today I just invite you to whatever you've got going on in your life, whatever you've got going on in your creative work, just have a think about the obvious solution. Think about the things that are so obvious that you haven't probably even really considered them and see if there's a simpler way to do things.


                                  As creative and multi passionate women, problem solving is one of our big skills, and it's something that we often love to sink our teeth into. But when it comes to our own problems, sometimes we can just end up running around in circles and it can be so frustrating. So look at the obvious solutions and see if one of those works for you. One of the questions that really helps me when I'm running myself in circles is, what is the simplest thing I could do? So I invite you to ask yourself that today. What would your equivalent for holding your breath to stop hiccups be? And would it work for you and maybe try it out? Sometimes, we massively over complicate things, And the simplest thing really is the best route forward. So have a think. Have a look at what's under your nose. And I can't wait to be back with you here tomorrow morning.

                                    067: When life gives you lemons, you don't have to make lemonade.

                                    We’ve all heard the sayings about life giving you lemons, but it’s not actually that helpful when you’re in the middle of it. Because maybe you didn’t want lemonade. Today I'm offering up a much more helpful alternative.
