Awakening the Creative Spirit Within You
Have you ever wondered what separates those who merely dream of creating from those who actually do? The difference isn't talent, luck, or even discipline - it's the ability to coach yourself through the inevitable challenges of creative work. Every artist faces internal barriers: the screenwriter who can't face her "serious" work, the musician who hates his recent songs, the aspiring novelist paralyzed by perfectionism. These creators aren't lacking ability but struggling with the psychological obstacles that block authentic expression. The journey to unlocking your creative potential begins with becoming your own compassionate ally - someone who notices your defensive maneuvers while motivating, congratulating, and occasionally challenging you. Without this inner coach, you remain "three-quarters blind," making anxiety-driven decisions rather than fulfilling your creative mission. Developing an effective inner coach requires mental distance - enough separation to positively influence yourself. Try the "Chatting with Yourself" exercise: position two chairs facing each other, one where you sit as yourself, the other where you become your "inner creativity coach." When in the coach's chair, ask probing questions with genuine curiosity about your creative blocks. The key is moving quickly between chairs to maintain momentum and avoid wallowing in negativity. Most people never achieve this level of self-awareness, choosing instead to soothe themselves with distractions while decades pass in a trance. These aren't cowards; they've survived divorces, raised children with disabilities, faced genuine hardships. Yet creative courage eludes them because they fear opening a frightening can of worms - their own personalities, the hard work of creating, the marketplace, and core issues of meaning.
