Bernier believes it's also important to focus on the journey, not its destination. "If you put all your stock into how something turns out, you are missing out on the most valuable part of the process, which is the making," he said.
"The end result can be wonderful, but it isn’t as important as the process itself. In this instance, the journey is more important than the destination. It’s not about what you make, more that you make. If you're not happy with how your work turned out, that's okay because you've at least gained something (e.g. knowledge, skills, etc.) from the process."

Remember, you don't need to achieve whatever it is you're trying to do in one big leap. When your motivation is at a low point, try to make small progress; it can put you in a productive rhythm.
"It's taking micro-steps toward creativity," Bernier said. "If you're working on a project, small progress is breaking things down into very small and manageable actions. The act of making progress and creating, no matter how small, can have a huge impact on your morale and sense of productivity. Small progress can involve thinking about an idea and jotting down a couple notes, making a to-do list, or deciding what your next step is when your motivation comes back. Those are just a few examples. The important part is that you’re doing something related to your idea that could count as a step forward."
