Putting the Cart Before the Horse (Why Artists Block Their Own Creativity)

In this episode of Nat & Mat, we explore a common trap many artists fall into: judging their work before it has a chance to grow. Natalie shares a quote from Maya Angelou — “The more you use it, the more you have.” It sparks a conversation about the fear many creative people experience: the feeling that their best work might already be behind them. Mat reflects on how easy it is for artists to sabotage themselves by constantly rejecting their ideas too early. When every new idea is immediately labeled “not good enough,” we unknowingly practice the habit of creating more doubt instead of more art. The conversation explores: • Why artists often believe their best work is behind them • How early self-criticism blocks creativity • The surprising power of practicing the right mindset • Why whatever you practice, you get better at • The importance of letting creativity move before judging the result Using simple metaphors — like steering a car away from a tree when you’re sliding — Mat explains how attention shapes the direction of our creative work. Sometimes the problem isn’t talent. Sometimes we’ve simply put the cart before the horse. Nat & Mat is a series of conversations about creativity, awareness, music, and the strange experience of being human. Thanks for wandering through the cosmic confusion with us.
