Trusting Your Creative Heart
So many of us live with Imposter Syndrome. We doubt our abilities; we doubt our purpose; we doubt that we have something the world wants or needs.
You can trust that if something is burning in your creative soul, the world will be a better place with you and your offering in it!
Birthing Creativity
Birthing a creative endeavor or event is an awful lot like growing and birthing a child. The birthing pains as the event gets frightningly close is very much like actual labor. There are times you want it to stop. Please, make it stop. But, it’s too late…the project is about to be presented to the world. Will it be “cute”? Will it be accepted by the other project “parents” in your friend/social circle? Will those who came before you or mentored you be proud of what you’ve done?
Liz and Debi discuss the birthing pains that come with creating. Here’s the deal, even though there’s fear, uncertainty, insecurities, and yes…pain…create anyway. The world is waiting for YOUR creativity. The world is waiting for the birth of the thing that ONLY YOU can produce!
Create!
Yes/And
Actors use an improvisational tool called yes/and. The words no, I don't think so, you're wrong, etc.... instantly stops the scene. On the other hand, the words, yes & and keep the scene moving forward. Likewise, when in conversation with others we use the words, no, stop, or you're wrong, we stop healthy conversations and relationships in their tracks.
