To celebrate the fourth episode of the podcast, here's a special episode with a practice from my 12 Days of Create From The Source!Like Elizabeth Gilbert says in her masterclass Creative Living Beyond Fear on the Calm app, if she would judge her work based on how good the work was, she would never get past day three. And I’ve been thinking about how day four - that crucial day when you either continue the work or stop working - exist in all creative projects that we start. So getting past day three, and dealing with the stuff that happens on day four is something all creatives have got to learn to deal with.I hope you enjoy this special episode!For bonus content to inspire and support you on your creative journey, visit www.createfromthesource.com and follow the podcast on Instagram @createfromthesource This is a public episode.
