I can totally relate, for me it was losing my creative confidence and the ability to write creatively after doing a very stifling public sector job for a few years. I was terrified that I’d lost the ability completely and found it really hard to rediscover the love and passion to do it. But after dipping my toe in the creative waters via journaling purely, I was able to find the love again! This then enabled me to gain back the confidence to put myself and my words out there again!
I have a brag folder too - though the idea was introduced to me as a 'warm and fuzzies' folder..... so that's what it's labelled as in my inbox now! I agree it sometimes feels cringe to seek it out, wallowing in past glories, but it really works on low-confidence days. x
