For when you’re not sure your creative endeavor matters:

It’s ok to do something only for you. I find myself constantly getting lost in other people’s priorities for my time instead of taking a moment to decide what would be the most important for me.

I get to choose what is important for me to do.

That might seem simple, but sometimes we need permission to honor the commitments we make to ourselves. We gain more mental space and energy for others (especially our family) when we create those small boundaries of self-direction, even if we never say it out loud. Important things are important, but that thing that is important only to you also matters.

I get to choose what is important to me.

Say it to yourself and see what happens.
