Is your creativity blocked?
Or maybe you want to expand your creative power.
At times it can feel as though the well is dry and your creative flow has disappeared.
There are so many reasons your creativity may become blocked and at times like this it’s easy to stop believing in yourself.
- You may have convinced yourself that it’s not the right time. Time is a great excuse when you lack confidence and feel unready. It can completely smother creativity especially if you’re constantly telling yourself you need to learn more before you’re qualified enough.
- You may be feeling unsure. There are many talented creatives who remain wallflowers because they don’t believe in themselves. If you’re locked into uncertainty you may be resistant to trying something completely new.
- Maybe you think your creations aren’t quite good enough. Perfectionism kills creativity dead. Analysis paralysis – constantly analysing the merits and demerits of a project – keeps you stuck at that point of assessment without ever taking action.
- Are you living in the past? Have you been telling yourself stories about why you can’t create, blaming others or incidents from the past? Dwelling in the past blocks your creative energy in the present.
- Or you may simply have too much on your plate and therefore feel completely overwhelmed.
Whatever the reason behind your crushed creativity, it can be difficult to break that limitation apart so that you can once again access that ability.
When you’re not feeling inspired to create, this gentle meditation can help reignite your creative fire.
