Guidance for when the fear of failure hinders your creative success

How can I overcome the fear of failing at my dreams? At times, we might hold ourselves back from pursuing a path because it might fail, or we feel scared to take action because, well... What if it doesn't work out? What if we invest our precious energy, time, and money into something that ultimately fails? In this episode, we explore our relationship with failure and how avoiding setbacks might hinder our growth. What if we used challenges as creative fuel? I'll be sharing thoughts and guidance on reframing our relationship with failure, drawing inspiration from athletes.

Journaling prompts:
  • What unexpected opportunities might arise from this situation?

  • How can I turn this failure into a plot twist in my life's story?

  • If this were a puzzle, what are the missing pieces I need to find?

  • What role did courage play in my attempt, and how can I honor that courage going forward?

  • If I were a superhero, what superpower would help me overcome this obstacle?

  • What if failure were just a dress rehearsal for spectacular success?

  • If my life were a canvas, how would I paint over this mistake to create a masterpiece?
