That’s interesting that you mention self-criticism (a healthy dose) as a motivator. I feel like it’s generally considered an inhibitor to creativity. You’re right, though, as with any obstacle, self-criticism can really work as a tool that pushes us toward progress, and like you said, if we’re playful enough, those two qualities will work together to help us take chances. I had never really thought about it like that before, but I absolutely agree.
