Stop Being Such a Pretzel!

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

 

When you have a creative block, it means you are emotionally curled up like a pretzel.

Being creative in whichever endeavor you enjoy doesn’t just help you stay happier but it literally gives you a sense of purpose in life. 

We all know how it feels to not feel this sense of purpose. We feel like we are walking around and doing things headless, trying to find inspiration in other people.

Focusing your energies on a creative project means being on target. Otherwise, you are focusing your energies on fear, worry, confusion and using these to procrastinate and make yourself miserable.

 So stop it!  =)

 

How do you untangle?

 Exercise helps. Not only do you get to stretch physically but mental and emotional stretching follows.

Choose the creative project that you always wanted to be known for and go for it. One step at a time, just like walking. When I started this website, I had no idea how it would turn out. But I sat down everyday and saw wonderful things coming out of me. Now this article is done and you are reading it. Wow!

You just have to bite the bullet. No one knows how things will turn out when they begin. Positive visualizations will help you focus your energies, but you never know the exact end result. And frankly, you don’t want to. The process of it is too much fun. It’s like Christmas morning and unwrapping gifts. Every day, you get to unwrap more gifts. In a sense, you are uncovering and discovering your Inner Self. Trust you me, there is nothing more satisfying than that.

So get back to your writing, painting, designing, business planning. You too can be a star!  You too can be well known and respected for your brand of creativity! All it takes is a little bit of courage and a lot of playing around being goofy. 

Do it!
