Discover the 5 Science-Backed Benefits of Meditation for Mental Health

Are you exhausting yourself chasing dreams that aren't even yours? Twisting yourself into a pretzel trying to become someone you're not?

Every year on this planet, you have a choice: become more bitter or grow. But here's the deal—all that trying is actually making you emptier.

Stop trying to prove yourself. Start being yourself.

In this episode, Tracy explores:
* What are you trying to prove and who are you trying to prove it to?
* Why "I'll try" is weak energy that keeps you stuck
* How to live from your real motivation, not your ego

"When you stop trying, you pay attention to the real motivation from your real self—not from your ego, not from your insecurities, not from your state of lack." ~ Tracy Crossley


#810: Stop Trying

Welcome to Kim’z Corner: Humanizing the Creative Experience!  In this episode, I (Kimasia Ayers) share my personal journey navigating the complexities of creativity, mental health, and self-expression. We dive into creative dysmorphia, pseudoassimilation, meta-assimilation, and the axis of assimilation—all intertwined with the Spiderweb Theory, which explores how our identities, experiences, and environments shape our lives.   Through real-life stories and reflections, we explore how these concepts shape our lives as creatives and individuals.

🎙️ Topics Covered:
* 		Who Am I?: Let's discuss my personal relationship with creativity, how I navigate the intersections of my identity, and why creative safety and wellness are crucial to the human experience.
* 		Creative Dysmorphia: I’ll dive into the mental struggles that many creatives face, from self-doubt and perfectionism procrastination to imposter syndrome and poor community support. Let's talk about the raw creative experience, and how to overcome these creative barriers.
* 		Pseudoassimilation, Meta-Assimilation, & The Axis of Assimilation: Together, we'll uncover how we shapeshift between identities in response to societal pressures and how embracing those identities can be liberating, even if it doesn't always feel empowering.
* 		Spiderweb Theory: We'll discuss how our identities, experiences, and decisions are connected and how everything we encounter leaves subtle vibrations on our creative and personal journeys.
* 		Personal Experiences: Hear about my own struggles and breakthroughs as a creative who has faced systemic barriers, and how I navigate the complex balance of being true to myself while responding to environmental obstacles.
