How to Empower yourself as a brand designer
Have you been empowering yourself?
As creatives, we need to empower yourself. Our ability to connect with our hearts is essential for producing truly impactful designs. Creativity is deeply rooted in the heart’s work, while design thrives on the synergy of strategy and creativity. This requires us to be in tune with both our hearts and minds.
That’s why us creatives have such a hard time fitting into the professional world. It wasn’t designed for us. That’s why we’re on a mission to change the Design Industry from the inside out.
Let’s talk about the empowerment circle.
The empowerment circle is a cycle that we all should be familiar with. Something that could change the way you run your business or even live your life
Making a decision and taking action
The empowerment circle starts with making a decision. This is where a lot of people trip up. Don’t overthink things. Make that decision and start taking action. Remember, anything that you’re thinking of doing in your business is no-good if it sits in your brain doing nothing. It’s time to take action
Motivation comes from momentum
Once you start making decisions and taking action it begins to build momentum. You get into this flow of working, something that creates motivation. You know how great it feels to get into the flow of working and how it feels like you could work forever. This is what causes motivation. Make the decision, take action and allow it to build momentum and that motivation will come
It’s time to start building trust
Here’s the best part about the empowerment circle. Once this momentum builds up and this motivation kicks in, you often forget about your worries. You start to build trust in yourself, even if its subconsciously. This trust is something that is crucial to empowering yourself. And what does this bring? Confidence. You start to trust yourself more, feel more confident in what you do and eventually it empowers you.
To empower yourself is a cycle
This isn’t a circle by coincidence. Once you start feeling that trust in yourself again, you start trusting your ability to make a decision and take action. The confidence boost you get from going through this cycle allows you to make the next decision and take action with less worries, starting the circle again. The more you continue this cycle, the more you start empowering yourself.
Empowering yourself is the key to success
It all begins with us, to empower ourselves to embrace our unique perspective. While our minds may lead us along familiar paths, it’s when we allow our hearts to lead us that we discover new possibilities, gain confidence, and trust ourselves.
It is often more scary and more unknown to do this but it’s worth it if you can find your flow. It’s time to empower ourselves.
