Destroy Your Work!

Creative Work Problems - No. 19 - Destroy your work

Have you ever thought about deliberately destroying what you create? It may sound crazy, but doing so can make you better at being creative. Let’s break it down.

When you create something – a drawing, a piece of writing, a piece of music – it sometimes feels like a part of you. But if you destroy your work deliberately it can be liberating. It helps you not to worry so much about being perfect. It’s like letting go of a heavy burden.

This destruction and rebuilding also makes you stronger. Life isn’t always perfect, and neither is your art. Learning to bounce back from mistakes is super important. Every time you fail, it’s like lifting a weight in the gym. You get better at handling tough situations, and that’s a big win.

Now get this: messing up your work can boost your confidence. How does this happen? Well, when you’re not afraid to mess up, you feel more confident about yourself. It’s like saying, “Hey, mistakes happen, and that’s OK!” The more you do this, the more you believe in your creative abilities.

Here’s the trick: start with the idea of wrecking in your head from the very beginning. It changes the way you think about your project. You’ll be more willing to try new things, take risks, and have fun with what you’re making.

So the next time you’re making something, don’t be afraid to hit the reset button. Destroy your work! It’s like having a cool teacher who shows you new ways to be great. Give it a go; you might just discover a whole new level of creativity!
