    overconsumption in creativity, scarcity mindset + learning to value what you have over what you want

    WE DID IT! This is officially the last episode of Season 1 of Lessons in Creativity! **For those watching, I apologize for my camera being out of focus half way through the video, ahh! -- Alas...we move.** I filmed this video towards the end of 2024, when I was thinking a lot about how and where I was spending my money when it came to my creativity and how overconsumption was holding me back. Today’s episode is about the effect of overconsumption on our creativity. It’s important to be mindful of the ways we invest in our creativity and how we are often told that we need more than we actually do to create. Being intentional is a huge part of valuing our creativity in ways that are sustainable and attainable. In this episode we’ll talk about… The Urge to Impulse Buy - You don’t need everything that you see online in order to create you just think that you do. What are some of the ways that you can creatively challenge yourself to use what you have differently?  Attaching Your Value To Material Things - What is quality content? How do we go about defining value in our content?  Getting Unstuck from Scarcity Mindset - Are you able to determine a want vs a need? How can this be a true investment for you instead of losing value as soon as you press “buy”?

    This is the reality of bouncing back after losing creative momentum.

    This reality of “falling off” while finding your way.  I felt very discouraged after missing one episode, and then another… and then I fully had to accept that this is a part of my journey and I’m learning what sustainable consistency looks like for me.  This episode I just want to give you the words of encouragement I’ve given myself during this time and talk through a few of the thoughts that have kept me from creating.  We’ll talk about… Bouncing Back After Losing Creative Momentum - Understanding the root of your own momentum and encouragement to continue after taking a break.  The Courage To Create What You Haven’t Seen -  Pushing through feelings of uncertainty and creating through uncertainty Remaining Curious in Your Creativity - What it looks like to try new things creativity and finding yourself through your “why”.  SUPPORT THE POD  Join my creative community: patreon.com/SydTheCreative Join my newsletter community: https://www.sydthecreative.com/email-list-sign-up  Visit my website: https://www.sydthecreative.com/  LET’S STAY CONNECTED Website |  https://www.sydthecreative.com/  Email: hello@sydthecreative.com Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/sydthecreative/ Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lessonsincreativitypod/   Facebook |  https://www.facebook.com/SydTheCreative/  Twitter | https://twitter.com/sydthecreative   TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sydthecreative

    Consistency as we have learned it, is not sustainable.

    Consistency caught up to me..I had to take a short break from the podcast but I’m back with a special episode that I believe is right on time.  I think one of the biggest hurdles that creatives have to jump over along the creative journey is consistency. It’s something that has been simplified and broken down to a science but I still think all social media gurus forget the “human” aspect of the process as well.  Consistency as we have learned it, is not sustainable. However we can make it work for us.  In this episode we will talk about: Redefining Consistency: Finding a flow and pace that works for you and your individual lifestyle & redefining what consistency looks like in your life.  Momentum vs Consistency: The importance of momentum in getting started & how momentum sets us up to be consistent.  Staying the Course: Momentum is a season, the importance of rest, & unlearning toxic productivity and hustle culture whilst navigating consistency in your creativity.  Thank you for being here! Let me know your thoughts on this episode and I’ll see you next week 🌱 SUPPORT THE POD  Join my creative community: patreon.com/SydTheCreative Join my newsletter community: https://www.sydthecreative.com/email-list-sign-up  Visit my website: https://www.sydthecreative.com/  LET’S STAY CONNECTED!
