In this episode of Hilla Podcast, Matreya (previously known as Mason Noise) talks about what it takes from us to become our true creative selves. This conversation isn't about "how to make it". It's about what happens when we finally stop performing for the world and start creating from who we really are. If you're a producer, artist, or someone who knows theres a version of you that you are trying to step into but don't really know how, this episode will crack that door open for you.

What does it mean to create in a world designed for consumption?

Our creativity is purest when we trust ourselves enough to act before the idea fades. In this episode we explore with Camael the link between self-beliefs, authenticity, and creative execution - and ask what it means to create in a world designed for consumption...

This episode looks at how pride holds us back from growth. Sometimes, the thing holding us back isn't lack of talent or opportunity, it's pride. Without even noticing, pride shows up in our creative process and blocks us from expanding further with our ideas... Growth usually means letting go of how we want to be seen. But in a world where social media dominates our day-to-day of people sharing the end result, it's hard to persist in any creative journey without our pride being stabbed.

In this episode, I catch you up with what has been going on personally such as starting "The Artist's Way" and how it's already opening up some big questions around creativity and visibility. I also talk about the guest episodes which I have been planning this month and have been looking forward to...

This episode gets into the concept that I have been sitting with called Conversation Blooming -- the idea that our connections deepen when our conversations are intentional, meaningful, and focused. Arguably, part of our psychology is shaped by the conversations we have with people. Each conversation attempts to land on an agreement which subconsciously determines / creates our values...

This episode is about our relationship with silence. How do we react to silence and what does it say about ourselves? what are we not giving to ourselves... There is a massive difference when we are creating something that is not self fulfilling and instead, it is dependent on other people's eyes and applause. when we are creating something self fulfilling it carries so much of our own energy and life with it, making it so much more authentic and because of this it touches so many people. We grow with our ideas and it naturally brings us that feeling of fulfilment that we would search for if we were depending on other people's applause. Silence is unavoidable though, even if we are on our creative journey. It is there to guide us and make us question what we are doing and we need to embrace this

Being in a realistic mindset holds us back more than it helps us. I always question why I avoid fiction books and what that says about my relationship with my imagination...

This episode explores how "realism" is often a disguise for fear of: failure/ of uncertainty/ of standing out - and how we as society use the phrase "lets be realistic" to just shrink ideas into small, "safe" boxes.

This episode also looks at how being "realistic" sabotages our creativity and our growth...  Choosing our ideas over our certainty is an act of self trust.

This episode is an invitation to notice the ways we limit ourselves.

We are a project (the greatest project we will ever work on) and our focus determines the outcomes of who we are.

Intention is everything. A project is a space we create to fill in with intentional creation (something that we plan to create or accomplish). So if we have no intention, we are not growing and instead, we allow our focus to wonder around things that don't actually serve us much purpose and as a result we will feel a lack of purpose. A project is a growth opportunity.

The only person that sees our vision is us so with every project we are always faced with the challenge of turning what is imagined in our head into a real visible form. The more we practice doing this, the better and more confident we become at this.

We are most likely never ready to do anything that we want an actual outcome in. But that's the point

As a continuation from the last episode, this episode focuses on the control that we have over our perspective. We decide how we want to perceive things by what we angle our attention to. The things we pay attention to make our mind think in a similar way to it (depending on how much exposure we have with it). 

Also, the things we decide to talk about. It's so easy to talk badly about other people because it doesn't require a skill or a hobby and it temporarily uplifts us but it actually damages our cognitive bias (our systematic thought process) to look for the bad in people. However, if we practice talking about the good, then we train our cognitive bias to look for the good in people. 

Practicing gratitude is our medicine. Gratitude makes us practice seeing things in a positive and fulfilling way. The more we practice gratitude, the more we will see how lucky we are (inspired by Roxie Nafousi author of Manifest).

It's important for us to angle our perspective in a way that reflects who we are/ help develop who we are.

Perspective is the reason why we are all narcissists because it makes the world revolve around us. But, there would be no creativity if we did not own a perspective. Our creative talents reflect our perspective because we are constantly translating our thoughts and ideas into reality. Our perspective is also always developing so we are in charge of sculpting it along the way to make it work with us...
