What the Creative Confidence Starter Kit Is (and Isn’t)

Introduction

If you’ve ever felt the dread of the blank page, sketchbook or project and thought thought to yourself,“I’m just not creative enough,” you’re not alone. Many feel a lack of creative confidence and allow it to hold them back.

Creativity Coach and Author Sara Thomson says: 

So many creatives don’t actually lack ideas or talent, instead it’s confidence they lack. It’s that quiet steady belief that their creativity is real, worthy and not something made up.”

This is exactly why I created the Creative Confidence Starter Kit.

What You’ll Learn

In This Guide I’ll walk you through what it is, what it isn’t, who it’s for, and how to know if it’s the right next step for you. You’ll learn:

  • ✓ What the Creative Confidence Starter Kit is
  • ✓ Who I created it for
  • ✓ What the Creative Confidence Starter Kit isn’t
  • ✓ What’s inside and how this fits with my other offers
  • ✓ If the kit is right for you and how to get it

What Is the Creative Confidence Starter Kit?

The Creative Confidence Starter Kit is a practical resource for you to download free that’s been designed to help you start to rebuild trust in your creativity. 

Because, if you build confidence in your creativity, nothing is off limits. 

It’s not a massive course, or a big commitment. Instead, it’s a small, focused starting point that you can do in a week, at your own pace without feeling overwhelmed. 

Fundamentally, this kit is about one thing: 

Helping you move from “I’m not creative enough” to “I’m learning to trust my creativity.”

It uses three main components to do this: 

  1. Creative Confidence Blocks Identifier
    Short, reflective prompts to help you understand what’s really sitting beneath that self-doubt perfectionism and fear of judgement.
  2. NLP Reframing Technique Guide
    Simple, tools to help you softly rewrite the unhelpful stories you tell yourself about your creativity.
  3. 7-Day Creative Confidence Builder
    A week of small, achievable daily actions with space to track your confidence before and after each one.

You can print it or use it on a tablet with a digital pen.

Who I Created It For

The Creative Confidence Starter Kit is what you’ve been looking for if you:

  • Don’t feel creative enough to call yourself a writer, artist, or creative of any kind
  • Have lots of ideas, but talk yourself out of them before you even get started
  • Feel blocked but worried and nervous about trying to move past it
  • Are tired of harsh, pushy advice and want something gentler and more realistic

It’s designed with thoughtful, sensitive, often introverted people in mind, the kind of people who care deeply, think a lot, and sometimes get stuck in their own heads.

You don’t need to be a professional creative. If you have a creative urge of any kind, you’re welcome.

What the Creative Confidence Starter Kit Is Not

I want to be very clear about what this kit isn’t, so you can make a full decision.

The Creative Confidence Starter Kit is not:

  • A full creativity course
  • An intensive coaching programme
  • A business or marketing strategy guide
  • A replacement for therapy or mental health support
  • A magic fix that will solve everything in seven days

It won’t:

  • Tell you exactly what to create
  • Give you a rigid schedule you must follow forever
  • Promise overnight transformation

Instead, it brings:

  • A kind, structured starting point
  • Practical exercises you can actually finish
  • A way to measure small but real shifts in your confidence

Think of it as a gentle warm-up for your creative confidence.

What’s Inside: A Closer Look

Here’s a peek at what you’ll find when you download the kit.

1. Creative Confidence Blocks Identifier

This section helps you explore questions like:

  • What do I currently believe about my creativity?
  • Where did those beliefs come from?
  • How do self-doubt, perfectionism, or fear of judgement show up?

You’ll be guided through simple prompts to help you see your patterns, without shaming yourself for them.

This is a shame free zone.

2. NLP Reframing Technique Guide

As an NLP practitioner, I know how powerful our internal language can be.

In this section, you’ll get:

  • Examples of common “I’m not creative enough” thoughts
  • Gentle reframes you can use and adapt
  • Space to write your own new, more supportive beliefs

This isn’t about pretending everything is perfect. It’s about choosing language that supports your creativity instead of shutting it down.

3. 7-Day Creative Confidence Builder

This is the practical, day-by-day part of the kit.

You’ll get:

  • One small, clear action to take each day
  • A place to rate your confidence before and after
  • Space to note what you noticed or learned

The actions are intentionally simple and are things you can do in 10–20 minutes, even on a busy day. The aim is to show your brain, gently and repeatedly:

“I can do this. I am creative. I can trust myself.”

How This Fits with My Other Offers

You might be wondering how this kit sits alongside my other work.

The Creative Confidence Starter Kit is designed as a beginning, not an end point.

  • If you’re just starting to reconnect with your creativity, it gives you a safe, structured way to begin. 
  • If you’re considering 1–1 creativity coaching or future programmes, it gives you a feel for my approach before you commit to anything bigger.

It pairs especially well with:

  • 1–1 Creativity Coaching; if you’d like personalised support to keep building your confidence and creative practice
  • My Substack articles;  if you’d like regular encouragement, stories, and tools in your inbox

You are very welcome to use the kit on its own. And if, after working through it, you’d like more support, there are clear next steps at the end.

Is the Creative Confidence Starter Kit Right for You?

It might be a good fit if:

  • You’re drawn to gentle, reflective work rather than high-pressure challenges
  • You like having questions and prompts to work through
  • You want something you can complete in a week, not a huge course sitting unfinished in your inbox
  • You’re curious about creativity coaching but not ready for 1–1 work yet

It might not be the right fit if:

  • You’re looking for a detailed business or marketing plan
  • You want advanced craft teaching (for example, how to structure a novel)
  • You’re expecting a quick fix or a dramatic overnight change

If you’re unsure, you can always download it, try the first couple of exercises, and see how it feels. You’ll know quickly whether the tone and approach works for you.

How to Get the Creative Confidence Starter Kit

The kit is available as a free digital download.

  • Format: PDF (you can print it or fill it in digitally) 
  • Access: You’ll receive a download after checkout

A Final Word of Encouragement

If you’ve read this far, there’s a good chance you care deeply about your creativity, even if you don’t always feel confident in it.

You don’t need to become a different person to be creative enough.

You already are creative. This kit is simply an invitation to start treating that as true.

If this feels like the right step for you, I’d love to share the Creative Confidence Starter Kit with you.
