The Creative Mindset: How to Value What You Make

The Creative Mindset: How to Value What You Make

Presented by The Riveter, Austin at The Riveter, Austin

How can I give myself permission to make the things I want? What’s standing in the way of getting my project off the ground?

In this two-hour workshop, we will look at these questions and other ideas around creative output and value. Through facilitated discussion and reflection around the topics of ‘creative self-worth,’ participants will identify core negative beliefs around their creativity and gain deeper insights into the roadblocks that stand in their way. The workshop will give students a place to share personal and professional challenges and develop helpful tools for cultivating a creative vs. a competitive mindset.

 

In this workshop we will:

Identify core negative beliefs as they relate to your creative practice (i.e. what do you believe is possible in the work you make?)

Discuss creative vs. competitive mindset

Map your jealousy – a useful exercise!

Reflect on your work patterns – ‘the gas’ vs. ‘the brakes’

Identify healthy habits for nurturing your creative output
