The one word is "Allow." It means letting go of the need to control outcomes, trusting the universe's timeline, and doing your work joyfully instead of stressing over immediate results. This shift in mindset can alleviate the pressure artists often feel.
"Allowing" means you stop trying to dictate terms to the universe. Instead, you state your intention, do the work joyfully, follow the path, and bless the journey, trusting that the universe has its own, often greater, timeline and agenda for your success.
"Allowing" helps by shifting focus from controlling outcomes to trusting the process. It teaches that not meeting immediate expectations doesn't mean failure, as the universe might have a different, greater timeline and agenda for your work, as seen in the example of art going to a museum later.
Stress is a signal that your ego is in charge, and doubts push success away. Staying focused and intentional is about doing the work joyfully and trusting the process, while obsessing and stressing come from a need to control the outcome and dictate terms to the universe.
