Hello amazing!
Two weeks ago, on April 7th, 2015, our daughter Uma was born. A very special day- especially because it’s also the day my mother would have turned 56. Uma is healthy, eating and sleeping and we are tired and happy parents. ❤️
Before Uma was born I was working on a project, and although it seemed to be going really well, I was overwhelmed with a highly critical voice in my head. I had this flood of negative thoughts- mainly unconstructive criticism of what everyone around me was doing. My friend and mentor Sarah suggested that I just write it all down instead of trying to ignore it, and it really helped. Seeing it on paper allowed me to find the useful 2%.
Critic-> Write it down-> Filter with appreciation-> Trash 98%-> 2%
The useful 2% helped me see where we were relative to where we want to be, creating creative tension.
Where you are -> “pull” creative tension-> Where you want to be
With love,
Mathias
