What is Hypochondria?
Among the clients I work with are creative people who get stuck. Brain C-13 Review I believe everyone is creative to some degree. They want more out of life; they recognize they have some talents but they either lack focus, discernment, or confidence in their abilities. After a lot of trying, they have little to show for their gifts but feelings of confusion and a sense of frustrated potential. It doesn't help that generating ideas and solutions is generally underappreciated and undervalued. It's no wonder how a lot of creatives feel like they are spinning their wheels in the mud.
Creativity is pretty amorphous. It means different things to different people and the general sense I get is that most people seem to think it has to do with being artistic. To me, creativity means making something out of nothing generating a solution, a useful idea, a song, or solving a problem. The emphasis is on create. It's all well and good to have lots of ideas, lots of choices but what good are all they if you don't use them to create something, especially for your own benefit It's when you know you have a great idea and follow it with all your drive and passion that you can be truly creative. If you are not actually creating, you might be facing some obstacles.
Let's have a look at these obstacles Lack of focus Creativity by its very nature is unfocused. Productive creativity needs a container to help focus ideas. Having goals and a vision of where you want to be in five years may be all the focus you need to follow some ideas and ignore others. By container, I referring to parameters or a bit of structure that helps you focus.
Lack of Discernment Some creatives never met an idea they didn't like. We all need a way to discern how we want to spend our time. Creatives are notorious for starting something then abandoning it when an even better idea comes along. To be able to create means you have to see things through to completion. When your needs, values and goals are in alignment it is easier to discern what ideas will take you to your goals.Lack of Confidence As creativity is generally misunderstood and underappreciated, it's typical for creative people to give their ideas away for free and fail to reap the rewards. When others undervalue our strengths, it's easy for us to undervalue them too, leading to a lack of confidence and frustration.
