As a creative this is the hardest thing to do: stop listening to others. Sometimes that includes yourself.
I know for myself, I struggle with this a lot. I’d love to say that I have a protective shield of creative confidence. And that my magic shield protects me from the doubts, insecurities and thoughts of inadequacies about what I am putting out into the world.
The fear of being misunderstood and judged by those who would read my writing made it even more difficult for me to silence my inner critic. I think too, part of my resistance has been the fact that as a woman, I am wired to think and do for others first. How are my friends doing? What does my husband need? How is the housework going to get done? I don't take the time to write and allow it to just be about me!
