Most content creators start with so much fire and passion. They don& #39;t care about who is doing what but all they care about is fueling this passion. They are more daring and carefree. They don& #39;t overthink their feeds or niches. They just create.
Then somewhere along the way...

Somewhere along the way you start looking outside yourself, at what others are doing. You start over analyzing your work. Tweaking to perfection.
Your fire is still there but you start creating creatively. Instead of being in a state of flow, you approach the rapids.

The obstacles.. You occasionally get seeds of doubt. Your fire is dim smoldering mess. Sometimes you catch a glimpse of what you are capable of then that fire wanes.
You stop creating and getting back to flow. Consistency, discipline and inspiration becomes impossible.

You try and tap into what inspired you from the start. What changed?
You started observing and over-consuming. You started over analyzing every single move, post, video. You stifled yourself. You suppressed your imagination. That& #39;s what changed.

Soon you that only discipline and a system can get you back to where you were.
Yes creators evolve and life changes but you should not over analyze your work to the point of inactivity or dread.

It is up to you to get yourself out of this funk.
- You can fizzle out and flat-line
or
- You can fight for it and continue making, doing and creating with ease. Allow yourself to make mistakes, be a work in progress, allow yourself to put out work.

How to get out of that rut.
- Stop over analyzing
- Don& #39;t confine yourself or fit in a mould
- Create schedules
- Allow your content to evolve as you also evolve
- You don& #39;t have to be perfect always

- The struggle to be unique in content creation also plagues us. You don& #39;t have to reinvent the wheel. If what you do is being done by 10 other people it& #39;s ok.
- Own your blend of interests if you have more than one. It& #39;s ok. That& #39;s your opportunity to differentiate.

- You don& #39;t need 100% fresh ideas every time. There is nothing wrong with piggy-backing off of a proven working method. The originality will come in the execution. You can put your unique twist to everything you do.
I am not saying copy/ steal but you can put your own spin to it

- Collaborate vs growing alone.
The benefits that stem from collaboration with other content creators far outweigh those from growing alone. You get to discuss with people in your niche, share opportunities, ideas etc. It also gives you motivation.
