I would guess that you try to exert too much control. The kind of "sloppiness" that's useful for creativity is about letting things go.
Meditation might help.
As you are female, dancing a partner dance where you have to follow and can't control everything might be useful. Letting go of trying to control is lesson 101 for a lot of woman who pick up Salsa dancing.
I'm already good at this part of creativity, but precision is also pretty important. Right now I'm working on a project where I have to trace in pen (can't erase, flaws are obvious) photographs that I took. Letting things go won't help here.
I already do meditate.
I'm not, sorry.
Swing classes are pretty good about letting either gender learn to follow, if you'd like.
