Welcome!
Welcome, new followers! It's about time I updated the intro video, so here we go. What we're doing here is simple, but not easy: we're getting out of block and into a daily habit of creation.
How? Psychology and neuroscience.
My books - https://ruthannereid.com
The Two-Rule Recovery - https://tworulerecovery.com
Creative, what are we doing here?
We’re breaking out of block and replacing it with a daily habit of creation.

Creative, you need fuel.
If you tried to build muscle, but you refused to eat, how well would that go?
If you tried a cross-country drive, but never bought fuel, how far would you get?
Creative, you NEED to take in other people’s art. If you don’t, you will run dry.

Hope is a muscle.
Hope is a muscle. It must be exercised, or it will not hold your weight.
The good news is, you can exercise it right now.

Hope must be fed.
This sounds fortune-cookie, but I swear it’s not. You know, “Use it, or you’ll lose it?”
Hope is that way. If all you do is take in darkness, you will lose the ability to see the light.

Overwhelmed is not the same as DONE.
Creative, are you overwhelmed?
So am I. Darn near drowning, in fact.
There id good news: even under it all, you can still create.

Reclaim your time.
Greedy people of this world demand all your time. Creative, you don’t owe it to them.
Instead, it’s time to reclaim that time for creation.

Your artstyle is like your gut microbiome in the way its everything you consume and like and it also has all your bacteria up in it. Thats probably how that works
This isn't REALLY about Olympic gold.
If you were training to win an Olympic gold, and some guy walked up and said, “Here! I made a medal for you! You don’t have to do it anymore,” would that actually be what you wanted?
Of course not.
This is about generative AI.

Creation is MOVEMENT.
Art is living. The act of creation is movement. Creative, you’re walking your path in one direction or another.
The only way you trip over past projects is if you’re going the wrong way.

Protect your hope, or it will be paved over.
It’s my 20th anniversary, creatives, and my love has been in and out of the hospital for days.
I still wouldn’t trade him for the world—and I can say that because of a specific attitude choice.
Creative, hope must be watered, guarded, and grown, or it will be paved over.

Do you want to be an artist? Then don't let a machine do it instead.
“Only you have your brain. Only you can think of what you can think of. Only you can tell a story in a particular way. Why would you cede that to a machine?”
—Dave Eggers

You can do this.
(Trigger warning: hospital mention. Again.)
Creative? I need you to listen carefully to these words:
You can do this.

One not-so-quick tip to really get you moving.
This is an unusual tip, creatives, but if you follow it, you’ll benefit mightily.
It’s time to teach someone else how to do your art.

Creative lows are normal.
You know how after a big high (a party, a kiss, a success), you sometimes crash after and feel pretty darn lousy about life?
Creative, this applies DIRECTLY to your art.

“A writer is someone who has taught their mind to misbehave.” – Oscar Wilde
The thing is, creative, that if you’re going to “break” rules or genre to make your point, you have to KNOW the rules and genre first.

Let the art show you what it is. 
You probably know the expression, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them.”
This principle is a very powerful tool for your art.
