ABSTRACT
In this chapter, called “Failure Is an Option,” the author discusses the vital role “failure” plays in the creative process and how a fear of failure can keep you from completing your creative work. She reveals essential truths about failure, such as “Failure doesn’t define us; it refines us,” and gives the reader techniques for developing a new mindset that welcomes each failure as one more necessary step toward creative completion. This suggested tool kit includes affirmations, breath work, visualizations, rituals, inspirational quotes, and journaling prompts.
