Stop Judging Your Work: How to Quiet Anxiety and Finish What You Start
Finish What You Start: Techniques to Keep Judgment Out of Your Creative Process
Ever start a project only to abandon it halfway through because you judged it too soon? You’re not alone. Millions of half-finished books, paintings, and songs aren’t abandoned because the ideas were bad. They’re abandoned because judgment crept in before the work was ready.
In this episode of Your Creative Mind, Izolda Trakhtenberg explores why judging your work while you’re creating fuels anxiety, stalls momentum, and keeps projects unfinished. You’ll discover concrete strategies to quiet the inner critic, separate creation from editing, and protect your flow so you can actually finish the work you start.
If you’ve ever told yourself “this is terrible” or worried “I’ll never top this,” this episode will help you release judgment, reduce anxiety, and get back into creative flow.
Tune in and learn:
Why judgment and creation don’t belong in the same room
How early praise can be just as paralyzing as early criticism
Practical tools to keep working even when anxiety shows up
Simple rituals to create distance so you can evaluate more objectively later
Don’t let judgment bury your work in a drawer. Protect your creative process and finally see your ideas through.
