As creatives, sometimes we might feel overwhelmed by self-doubt, imposter’s syndrome or creative block. When we lack motivation or find it impossible to list our achievements, it’s important to pause and reflect on our creative journey and the many things that make us love our practice.

Here are 10 journalling prompts to help you explore those temporary feelings of doubt and to remind you that – wherever you are in your creative journey – your work is important and unique.
