5. Don't force yourself, trust, and let yourself go (flow)

It’s while you producing something creative the term “flow” makes the most sense. This is because we’re facing a cognitive exercise in which the brain doesn’t feel stress, but is motivated. It’s not easy to achieve this experience. The challenge is to move from explicit (forced) to implicit (automatic) cognitive control. Remember:

• Trust your skills
• Enjoy the process and let yourself go
• Turn off negative thoughts and your inner critic
• As long as the task is motivating, you’ll reach a state of flow
• Reduce your self-demand ; don’t be obsessed with being a Leonardo Da Vinci or a Steve Jobs.
