Hello,

I have been loving this months homework! I’ve decided my purpose is to live my most creative life.

While brainstorming ideas I start to feel overwhelmed and frantic. I think this is coming from the thought that I am not doing enough to live my purpose, or someone else will have this idea and do it before I do. In the past I have often compared myself to other artists and designers and used the anxiety that comes from the thoughts of “not doing enough” or “someone else will do this before me” as motivation. I feel some relief from my models but would love feedback on other angles to take. Thanks!!
