Have you ever noticed when you've begun work on a creative project that you're hugely passionate about and has great importance and meaning to you, how the negative chatter in your head shifts up into overdrive? But here's the good news, there ARE ways to live with the often dominant presence of creative resistance and STILL create everything we wish to. Here's one powerful technique:

Sometimes we're so caught up in the routine of life, we overlook the individual parts of our creativity, the garments in our creative wardrobe. We undervalue our favourite and most flattering clothes - those unique powerful elements that allow us to be the creative individual we are.

So here are some of the ways you can enrich and enhance your unique creative composition –

When we're in full flow with a creative project, we usually want all our creative ideas, energy and focus to be directed towards that particular project, every spare sentence, idea, image or note to perfectly fit right into our latest work. But in reality, it doesn't work like that. So how can we deal with this? How can we eliminate all the static, the surrounding interference we don't want to hear when we're focusing on one creative project?

Just a day or two of feeling creatively blocked - and the paralysis and anxieties that can bring - can change our perspective hugely and we begin doubting whether a single sentence in our novel, brushstroke on our canvas, or note in our composition are of any use at all... Sometimes though, the solution and the way through such creative blocks is not in the words, the brushstrokes or the notes at all...

Stop for a moment and think about how you might describe your creativity right now if it was a type of weather. Would it be sunny clear blue skies? Scattered showers?

We all have the ability to change how we react and the direction we’re heading in at any time.

When we come to trying something new creatively, we all seem to experience any number of entangled fears and doubts around moving forward with the project, and can become quickly overwhelmed.

When we do something new in our creative lives, outside our normal comfort zone, initially we may just go with it, experiencing a mixture of feelings of fear, trepidation, challenge and excitement.

Sometimes, we can have our sights so firmly set on our goals in the long term future that we overlook what we’re currently experiencing, and all the situations, opportunities and potential happiness that we’re actually right in the midst of.
