Creativity Fears

Let’s face it.  There are A LOT of fears that can overpower our thinking and  freeze us when it comes to thinking or taking action on our creative pursuits.

Fears are powerful. They are deeply rooted. They are like jaguars going in for the jugular.  Our fears feel like truth, the reality, and we have conditioned ourselves to believe them as such.

fear of criticism

fear of failure

fear of not knowing how or knowing enough

fear of not being talented

fear of looking like an idiot

fear of being a newbie or beginner

fear of saying the wrong thing

fear of ruining the piece

fear of not being smart enough

fear of success

fear of not knowing where to start

fear of being wrong

fear of making a mistake

fear of anxiety when you show up at the studio

Feeling afraid yet? It gives me the creeps looking at that list!

I’m here to challenge your belief system around your creative fears. I’m here to help you erase your fears so you can create the life you want.

I’m not denying these fears are scary entities that can overtake you, your creative dreams, and keep you from ever starting or finishing a project.

Trust me…I’ve been there, I KNOW fears ARE real, powerful, and can be overwhelming. I am not denying that.

As a creativity coach, I’m here to tell you, YOU CREATE YOUR OWN FEARS.

Yes, I know…I know. They are real. They are truthful. They are powerful. Again, I know this to be true.  I also know that you can challenge these ideas and beliefs that surround your creativity.

You are NOT powerless to change fears. You can un-root those fears and go after them like YOU are the jaguar out for the kill.

Our creative fears FEEL real because  we create them to be living, breathing realities in our lives.

Our fears do not make something real or true. WE do.

So…ask yourself, what do I really WANT to create? (fears or creative possibilities?)

Part of being a creative spirit (and each and every one of us is) is recognizing that our minds have constructed our fears around our art, how our art will be received,  our creative expressions, and about who we are as creators.

Let me Awaken Your Creativity to think about creating something more powerful than fears.

When you can name, address, challenge, and conquer your creativity fears, you will be able to live in a creative  mindset that empowers, inspires, and motivates you through and past your fears.

Isn’t that how you want to live in your creativity? I know I sure do.

No, it’s not easy. It will take hard work and your commitment. I know if  if I can do it then you can too.
