We all can tend toward overthinking our creative decisions when we fall into the trap of thinking there is a “right” and a “wrong” when it comes to our art.
We start to believe that if we make this decision it could be wrong and we might be missing the right decision.
The problem is, that there are no rules and there are multiple ways to create a beautiful thing.
If the artwork you’re making is reasonably good, the details will flow from you and combine to create impactful work. Nobody will hate your artwork if you didn’t choose the perfect shade of green for the gutter in your painting.
However, nobody will even get to see our artwork if we can’t shed this binary “right/wrong” trap when it comes to our work.
If the decision is reasonable, just go with it and deliver the work. That’s much more impactful and frees your mind from running the hamster wheel of indecision, overthinking, and stress.
Note: You can probably apply this idea to making any career or recreational decisions in your life as well.
