Chapter Five begins with a reminder to the reader to be aware of what one puts into their artwork ...shows.  If one hold back, hesitations keep them from making art.  One has to be clear of their intentions to order to build the muscles of "informed passion," that is where one finds themselves in full acceptance of any obstacle presenting itself.  Rarely does one's artwork at a finished product looks like it did when conceived.  Creativity is evolving with ideas, experiences, materials, etc.  And even the obstacles may influence one's artwork.  The authors remind the reader that artwork is bound by where it is in that moment.  Part of the creative process for many artists is an absence of creative flow.  To help the reader get back they suggest playing, being around a creative community, reviewing obstacles/disappointments, or old materials.  But more importantly, to return to the daily habits of practicing play and exploration.  They authors also suggest to the reader to review the tools they use to make art, as the familiarity may keep them stuck.  Keep finding the artwork which wants to released.   Keep diligent to the artwork one is meant to do. 

I encourage you to buy a copy of Art and Fear for a better understanding of your own creative process.  Whether you're a master artist or beginning artist, this is an excellent book.
