When you understand your creative psychology, you stop fearing the bad days and start using them to fuel your growth.
When You Hate Your Art
Let’s be honest.
Sometimes… you just hate your own art.
You look at what you made and think:
“This ain’t it.”
Sound familiar? Good. You’re not alone.
This is very common for creative thinkers.
A woman posted a video recently, incredibly talented, by the way, asking why she hated her work. Not the quality. Not the effort. Just... hated it.
Valid question.
But here's the thing:
This isn’t about the work itself.
It’s about the psychology of creativity.
You vs. You
When you’re a creator, you’re also your own coach.
And that means you have to critique your work, without crushing yourself in the process.
Big difference between critique and self-sabotage.
Critique helps you evolve.
Sabotage stops you cold.
So I ask every stuck creative one simple question:
“When you don’t know what to do next, what’s your first instinct?”
Most people fall into one of three buckets:
You overanalyze every option (hello, overthinker).
You tweak forever chasing perfection (perfectionist alert).
You wonder if you’re even good enough (self-doubt creeping in).
Once I know your instinct, I know your mindset.
And once you know your mindset, you can defend against it.
Mindset First. Then Mastery.
This doesn’t mean the doubt disappears.
It means you’ve got tools when it shows up.
Here’s where most people get it twisted:
Creativity isn’t just artistic.
Creativity is how your mind solves problems.
It’s not just painters, writers, and musicians.
It’s teachers who find new ways to reach their students.
It’s mechanics who hear something in an engine and just know what to fix.
That’s creative genius, too.
Creativity is cognitive. Not just artistic.
So What Now?
Learn to separate your work from your thought process.
Your creativity lives in both.
And when you know how to manage your mindset and your output?
That’s when your best work happens.
Even if you hate it sometimes.
