When your mind, or inner critic, or inner child, attacks, criticizes, judges, or hates upon you during the creative process, do not engage. No matter what. As if you’re dealing with a narcissist. Focus on what needs to get done only, like there’s no tomorrow.

Don’t attack yourself while you’re trying to be creative, create something, or make a new piece of content, no matter what.

All that hatred you harbor towards yourself is because of that. Attacking yourself like this all the time, and all of that excessive self-criticism dramatically exacerbates any self-loathing you already have towards yourself. It’s not doing you any good.

This is all happening because your mind decided to keep attacking you while you’re trying to create something new or make a new piece of content and be creative like you’re meant to be.

Tell your mind in this case, don’t attack me please. I have done nothing wrong. There’s nothing wrong with you. And I will always love you so much.

Do not defend yourself and respond to every argument made against you by your mind. Do not engage. Do not waste your time or energy.

Remind yourself that this isn’t the time or place to attack yourself. It’s time to only be creative. 

Focus on what you’re creating during the entire creative process like nothing else matters or exists. Focus on what you’re creating, like there’s no tomorrow.

Most people have a phobia of fatigue, and that’s why they never succeed, hit their goals, get their life together, fix their life, or improve themselves or their abilities. They’d rather die than get tired, or exhausted. And that’s why they will never amount to anything. 

There’s nothing wrong with being tired, fatigued, exhausted, drained, or low energy.

Eliminate your fear of that, and you will accomplish more than you can imagine.

You are failing in life, especially when it comes to your success, creativity, and productivity, because you are not drinking enough coffee.

You are not creative enough like you used to be in the past, because you’re not drinking enough coffee.

Again, I’m going to be straightforward with you when it comes to stating that fact clearly. Writing exercises, uses, needs, and has the potential to improve your intelligence like no other, more than anything whatsoever that can exercise, use, or require or need your intelligence in the whole existence, no matter what.

Nothing on the face of the earth could ever use, exercise, improve, or need your full powers, abilities, intelligence, intellect, and creativity, like writing.

Nothing there is needs you to use a hundred percent of your brain like writing.

That said, it should come to you as no surprise that writing uses and needs endless amounts of energy, to become possible.

No amount of physical exercise, sleep, or meditation, can ever be enough to provide you with that kind of energy. And because of that, you will need coffee. Loads and loads of coffee. A ton of it. More than you can imagine. How much exactly? You drink, until you feel you can write now, for as long as needed, even for three hours straight or more. There’s no workaround. There’s no alternative solution.

And because of that, if you are a highly intelligent, highly creative individual, you are failing in life due to not consuming enough coffee. Every single day. No matter what they say. With no days off in between to detox or whatever.

Create more, read more, consume more content by other creators, and drink more coffee. Because you need the energy. You need endless amounts of energy to write and keep writing and creating, like there’s no tomorrow.

You are stuck in life because you think every part of your brain can do just one thing and only one thing, and no other part of your brain can do the same thing, no matter what.

Wrong. You need all parts of your brain to be fully healthy, intact, and fully functioning at maximum capacity, so that every single part of your brain or group of neurons can do anything and everything there is humanly possible. Even if it is not its job to do so. Even if the main function of that part is totally something else. But without the main part designated for each and every function or ability being there, the other parts won’t know what to do or how to do it, no matter what.

Why am I telling you this?

It’s because you are now a Jedi grandmaster and I need to complete your training.

You are stuck in life because you are trying to solve every problem or do everything by pushing harder with the same circuits and neurons that are supposed to make that thing happen. You only need to use other neurons in order to get things done, make it happen, and do the impossible.

You will literally feel like you’re doing the same thing by using a different part of your brain, and it can then be done so easily, without struggling against resistance.

It can always be done, even if it is impossible, by using different parts of your brain, or a different set or group of neurons, no matter how seemingly impossible it is, as long as you are genius.

Much to learn, you still have.

You need to become less ambitious, in order to become more productive and successful, and end up making more progress in the long-term. At least when it’s time to take action. Otherwise, your ambition knows no limits, and there’s always more and higher to desire and aim for, and there’s nothing wrong with that. But that extreme level of ambition and hunger for reward, has to stay in the theoretical realm only. In your mind, and when and where you write down your goals, dreams, aspirations, and vision for your future. Otherwise, when it’s time to take massive action, you always aim lower.

You have to aim lower, in order to achieve more. In order to make more progress in the long run. In order to be more productive long-term.

When you want to do more in any given day, you will end up doing less, because most of what you could’ve done that day will be dismissed as not good enough for a highly productive day.

It will not meet your standards for a highly productive day. It will not feel like you’re making progress, if you settled for doing that thing today.

So you will end up replacing it with something that is better, more rewarding, or feels more like a great achievement compared to that lesser thing, and end up procrastinating on that bigger more important thing until you feel absolutely ready to do it, and so, in the long run, you will end up with less. You will end up with less progress and productivity in the long-term, because nothing was good enough for you, and every idea was rejected. Rejected as not worthy enough of your time or energy, and does not match the ideal or standard of ambition you decided to never settle for less than it for the rest of your life, no matter what, in order to turn your life around and take things to the next level, and actually make a significant difference in your life, instead of settling for breadcrumbs all the time that get you nowhere.

In order to be okay with focusing on the task at hand, you have to not aspire for doing something better instead. There’s always a better alternative or choice, especially when it comes to what can make you more successful, and make things better, or make your day more productive, or increase the amount of progress you make in any moment of time. There’s always something bigger, better, and more rewarding that you can do. If you do not get yourself to do the lesser thing, or the thing that does not make you feel like you’re making progress all that much or at all, then you will never get anything done.

In the past, when you were still starting out, everything was a breakthrough. Everything was new and unprecedented. Everything felt like amazing progress. Everything was insanely rewarding. Everything you did in the past made you feel like you’ve had an amazingly productive day. Because you had very little ambition back then, because all you wanted is to end up with something, rather than nothing.

Now, you’ve been out there for too long, and you haven’t accomplished much yet. You haven’t reached anything that you’ve ever aspired to. You haven’t yet reached or achieved the level of success that you’ve always aspired to, or desired. You feel like if you kept going at this pace your whole life, you’d still end up nowhere. Nothing feels satisfying anymore. Nothing feels like progress anymore. Nothing ever feels enough. So you end up either quitting, or aiming higher.

And that’s why you’ll always fail.

If you feel a dip in your creativity, you’re not consuming enough.

If you feel like your creativity has declined, or you don’t get as much thoughts or ideas for content as you used to, it’s because you are creating without consuming enough.

You have been creating for too long without exposing yourself to the content of other creators.

This can include not reading books enough, not listening to podcasts enough, everything. You are not reading or watching or listening enough. And it has to be content made by others, or the creative work of other creators. You have to read what has been written by other writers and authors, for example, even if you have written hundreds of books yourself, and not just when you’re still starting out, but in order to keep being capable of writing abundantly or keep being able to write in the first place, not to mention being able to keep producing high magnitude and amount of creative quality output at maximum rate humanly possible. The same could be said about creating whatever type of creative content you make.

In order to go back to being creative again, and go back to getting ideas to post about all the time like you used to in the past, you need to always consume the work of other creators like there’s no tomorrow.

Your creativity did not decline because of the stress of life. You just have no idea what other people are saying, putting out, posting about, or creating for quite some time. You just haven’t been consuming enough lately. You have to eliminate the belief that consuming all day long is a waste of time. It is not, unless there’s no hope for you to ever be creative or become a hyper creative individual one day.
