1
What would your life look like if you loved the process of working on your craft,
2
your project, your art?
3
If it was something that you looked forward to,
4
not something that you avoided,
5
not something that you procrastinated on,
6
but something that you were eager to get to every day.
7
What if you did this not because you felt like you had to,
8
but because you wanted to?
9
It was as easy as playing video games.
10
What if it was addicting?
11
Imagine what would be possible.
12
Think of the work that you could achieve.
13
Now, let me show you something.
14
What do you see here?
15
I'll tell you what I see.
16
I see artists in the zone.
17
In their process.
18
Maybe you don't have the same resources as them,
19
and maybe that's your excuse.
20
Well yeah, if I had a huge decked out studio with this equipment and this camera and audio and this microphone,
21
then yeah, it would be easy.
22
I'd look forward to working on my craft every day.
23
But those things stripped away.
24
What we're looking at, at its essence,
25
is an artist engaging with their craft.
26
And that's possible for you right now.
27
You can do that.
28
The levels of success that many of us may want to achieve is gonna take a lot of work,
29
a lot of hours.
30
And we can't afford things like procrastination,
31
hesitancy, avoidance, overwhelm and fear.
32
We just can't let those things win.
33
It's gonna take many hours,
34
and I believe that the trick to putting in those hours is by absolutely loving the process.
35
Because if we love the process,
36
then the hours will feel less like work,
37
and the hours will feel like minutes.
38
Now how do we love the process?
39
Well, we need to romanticize the process.
40
And how do we do that?
41
Let's start with this framework.
42
Romanticizing the process is necessary.
43
It is necessary because you have to have fun.
44
Your creative spirit thrives in the zone of having fun.
45
Having fun is the key to finding your creative spirit.
46
This is the zone of creativity, similar to flow state.
47
This is where you are just completely lost in your craft.
48
The best art comes from this zone because you are getting out of your own way.
49
You are allowing your creative spirit to take over.
50
And when you truly do that,
51
when you surrender to that,
52
you allow new levels of art to be made.
53
Now this is why having fun is important and necessary.
54
Having fun is an indicator that your creative spirit likes what is happening.
55
And if your creative spirit likes what's happening,
56
that means that it's at work.
57
And that's what we're trying to do here.
58
We're trying to get the creative spirit to be at work.
59
So this is about finding your creative genius through having fun.
60
And you're having fun through loving what you're doing.
61
And this brings us to our first major point.
62
Love what you make, make what you love.
63
So you'll have fun through loving what you make,
64
but you're not gonna love what you make unless you make what you love.
65
Unless you make things from your heart.
66
Make things from you, authentic you.
67
You cannot let expectations of what you need to make,
68
or expectations of what others will think,
69
or rules, some kind of rule that you write in a book,
70
you can't let those exterior things bog you down in this process.
71
Those things are gonna absolutely kill the creative spirit.
72
The creative spirit, once you contain,
73
once you try to contain and limit it by those things,
74
that's when you push it away and you start to numb out the process.
75
So you cannot make art for others,
76
you cannot make art for rules,
77
you cannot make art for expectations.
78
You have to make art from the heart and you have to make art that you like and you enjoy.
79
So lean into what you like.
80
Lean into your inspirations.
81
Inspirations and the art that you like are great indicators of the type of art that you want to make.
82
So just ask yourself, what is your favorite piece of art in the craft that you're working on?
83
What's your favorite movie, your favorite book,
84
your favorite song, your favorite poem, your favorite painting?
85
Any and all of the above.
86
Look at your inspirations, the art that you like,
87
and think about how that can inform your style what that means about the type of art that you want to make,
88
what that means about what you like.
89
Again, the idea that you having fun being an indicator that your creative spirit is at work,
90
it's the same thing with your favorite art.
91
When you like art, that is an indicator that your creative spirit is talking to you.
92
You have to listen to that.
93
Be conscious of the things that you like,
94
be conscious about enjoying the process,
95
enjoying what you're making, and very important, next point, your environment.
96
Where are you working?
97
Where's the actual physical space where you do your craft,
98
where you do your process?
99
and how can you make it better for the process?
100
How can you make it more fun?
101
How can you make this environment a place that promotes your creativity?
102
You have to craft your dream space for your creative process.
103
Again, having fun, enjoyment, creative spirit, things that you like.
104
Have all of these things guide the way that you craft this space.
105
Your environment has huge impacts,
106
conscious and subconscious, on your state.
107
Your emotional state, your physical state,
108
your spiritual state, all of these things.
109
So you have to be very aware of the place that you're in during the process,
110
during the craft, because they will affect you.
111
And that is a positive thing because you can use that to your advantage.
112
Put up things that inspire your creative spirit.
113
Put up visuals and images that you resonate with.
114
Print out pictures, put up posters of inspirations,
115
artwork that you like, just things that you like, things that you enjoy.
116
And I'll tell you a space right now that's already made for you,
117
that is perfect for the creative spirit, and that's outside the outside world, nature.
118
I cannot emphasize this more but work outside.
119
Work outside.
120
Try to find every opportunity that you can to do your work outside.
121
Like I said, the environment has huge effects on your mental state,
122
your emotional state, your spiritual state,
123
and being outside in nature in a wide open space or just with trees,
124
with bushes, with flowers, with the air that you smell,
125
these things are going to impact your state.
126
If you can find that serenity,
127
It's going to allow your creative spirit to feel safe to come out and go to work.
128
You know for me in my own process,
129
I have to do a lot of work on my laptop.
130
Specifically, you know when I'm producing music,
131
when I'm mixing, when I'm editing.
132
But if I have to conceptualize or brainstorm for some kind of script,
133
then I'll just do that outside.
134
If I have to write a song,
135
I'll bring my guitar outside and I can take advantage of
136
that outside world and the tremendous impacts that it has on my state when I'm in the creative process.
137
Next thing, routine.
138
If you can prove to yourself that this is much more than just a hobby,
139
but it's a way of being,
140
it's a way of living,
141
your creative spirit is going to notice that,
142
and it's gonna come out more.
143
This is training your creative spirit to work.
144
It's like training your muscle,
145
it's like exercising your muscle, growing your muscles.
146
It's frequency.
147
It's all about frequency.
148
If you don't have frequency, it's not gonna grow.
149
And it's not your creative spirit that's growing.
150
Your creative spirit is already there,
151
it's infinite, it's within you.
152
but your relationship to your creative spirit,
153
that's the thing that grows with frequency.
154
So you have to show and prove to your creative spirit this is not something
155
that we're gonna do once a month or once a year,
156
do when we feel like and then shy away from it for a long time,
157
no, no, no, no. This is serious,
158
this is a way of being.
159
Creativity is much more than just a hobby.
160
Creativity is a way of life.
161
You need to commit to this if you want your art to benefit from it.
162
But you have to commit to this routine and this frequency if you want to see results.
163
Now, this can seem hard,
164
but again, going back to what we talked about.
165
Enjoyment, fun, easy going, effortless.
166
Like video games.
167
This routine, this commitment to this routine,
168
should be a result of you loving what you're doing.
169
By making things enjoyable first,
170
your process, your environment, the work that you're actually doing,
171
by making those things enjoyable,
172
you're making it easier for you to want to actually come back and return here.
173
Make your work, your environment, and your routine enjoyable.
174
What is the best time to work?
175
What's the best time in the day for you to do your work,
176
your craft, your creative process?
177
For me personally, I like the morning just because I feel more relaxed,
178
I feel like I have the whole day ahead of me,
179
I feel like I can be more chill during the process.
180
But also, at nighttime, if an idea strikes me,
181
if inspiration strikes, I'm not gonna suppress that.
182
I will create if I feel called to.
183
Which leads me into my next point, grow the inner artist.
184
This is like any other relationship in your life.
185
If you want it to grow,
186
you have to feed it.
187
So if an idea comes,
188
you have to take it and run with it.
189
You have to trust the things that your creative spirit is sending you.
190
The more you harness that relationship and those ideas that come to you,
191
the more that it's going to come out.
192
The stronger it's going to become.
193
The more your creative spirit's going to be expressed into this world.
194
And the more that happens,
195
the more that it's going to actually take over you.
196
And as it takes over,
197
it's going to draw you to the process.
198
It's going to bring you to the space, to the work.
199
It's going to bring you to the studio.
200
So if an idea comes up,
201
write it down, record it.
202
It's coming to you for a reason.
203
You might not know what it means now, but you will later.
204
Anything the creative spirit wants to give you,
205
you have to grow that inner artist by exercising those muscles that act on those ideas,
206
that act on the inspiration,
207
that act on anything that your creative spirit wants to give you.
208
The magic found in the process,
209
the magic that's responsible for the genius art that you have created and that you will create,
210
is not found in these physical things like the camera or the microphone, or this pen.
211
When you write, when you journal,
212
it's not found in those physical things.
213
It's right here.
214
It's the soul.
215
It's the creative spirit.
216
And that is why it is the most important relationship that you work on,
217
that you develop in this entire process.
218
A great way to feed this relationship is by practicing stillness.
219
Practice stillness every single day.
220
Get quiet.
221
Find a time, find multiple times throughout the day,
222
where you're just quiet with your own mind,
223
or you can get out of your own way.
224
Go outside, be with yourself, and just listen.
225
Just tune in.
226
Don't feel like you have to force a thought.
227
Don't feel like you have to ponder.
228
That's not your job.
229
Your job is just to be quiet and listen.
230
You might not be getting ideas because you're always filling the silence with noise.
231
Don't fill in the silence.
232
Don't play music or a YouTube video every time you do anything,
233
like washing the dishes or taking a shower,
234
going to the bathroom or folding laundry,
235
literally doing any other human task.
236
During some of those moments,
237
during those pockets of time,
238
just let the silence be there.
239
Maybe you don't want to work on your craft because you don't have fun ideas to act on,
240
well here you go.
241
Here's an opportunity to actually get ideas.
242
It's right there in front of you,
243
the silence, the allowance for these ideas to come in,
244
but you're just filling it with noise so get serious
245
and harness this relationship I know
246
that it can be hard to just be there in the silence
247
because of a lot of our habits and a lot of our tendencies and the way that we currently live
248
but The reason why it's hard is because it is very very rewarding
249
And I promise that if you just sit in the silence
250
if you give your mind some quiet time the soul is going to send you messages.
251
The creative spirit is going to give you ideas.
252
Again, it's right in front of you.
253
It's right there.
254
You don't have to go out and chase it.
255
You don't have to create it.
256
All you have to do is receive it.
257
And lastly, the power of perspective.
258
We don't see the beauty that is constantly around us because of fear,
259
because of false beliefs, because of limiting beliefs.
260
But if we can, again,
261
get out of our own way,
262
then we can see this beauty.
263
And we can see how much of a gift all of this actually is.
264
The opportunity to be able to do something
265
that we love to be able to engage with our soul in such a magical manner through this craft,
266
through this art.
267
We can experience the magic of our own souls.
268
Sometimes you just have to shift your perspective to see that
269
and I promise that if you don't find a way to see it now
270
if you don't find a way to enjoy
271
and be grateful for the process right now you're not gonna be able to do
272
that later you're not gonna be you're not gonna be able to do
273
that later at the point where you think you'll be able to do it
274
when you have reached that comfort and level of success
275
that level that you're really trying to get to
276
and then you'll be happy then you'll be satisfied then you'll enjoy the process.
277
That's not gonna happen unless you find a way to tune into that truth right now.
278
And romanticizing the process may sound like you're making this seem like something it's not,
279
but it's the opposite.
280
By romanticizing the process, you're getting closer to the truth.
281
You're getting closer to the true magic and true gift that is in front of all of us right now.
282
And we should enjoy this because that is ultimately the whole point of all of this.
283
We should be enjoying this process.
284
This is what we want to do.
285
This is our dream.
286
Now I'm not saying that there's not going to be struggle
287
and you have to be disciplined and there's going to be problems and issues and it's going to be hard.
288
Those are all beautiful things.
289
Those are all great things.
290
Those are good signs because we're getting stronger.
291
But we should learn to love those things as well.
292
We should learn to love the entire process with all of its ups and downs.
293
This is all a gift.
294
If there's a part of you that's pushing you away from the work,
295
you have to find, you have to rediscover the part within you that's going to push you back towards the work.
296
Romanticize the process, find the fun,
297
and remember the magic that's there.
298
I hope you resonate with this message.
299

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
