Increase Creativity A-Z - L Is For Limitations - How You Limit Your Creativity Without Realising
What stops you creating the most amazing, fulfilling creative work youre capable of?
Lack of ability? No. Not having the right equipment? No, thats not the real reason. Not having enough time? Nice try, but guess again.
The ultimate deciding factor that determines how much, how deeply and how beautifully you create is how much, how deeply and how beautifully you BELIEVE you can create.
Say the following sentence out loud to yourself and notice your reaction and feelings as you speak the words:
My creative ability is deeper than the ocean...
How did it feel? Was it easy and comfortable to say, as if you were speaking the truth youve always known? Or was it awkward and uncomfortable, and caused little voices to pop up and say: What? Who are you kidding? Youre about as creative as a wet sponge!
How you react to positive statements like this is a good indicator of your true beliefs about your creative talents and potential.
Heres another, try speaking this one, again out loud:
I believe I can create whatever I want to create, whenever I want to create it...
Again, what was your reaction, your response to saying these words?
Did it feel like you were simply stating the honest truth? Or did those little negative voices appear again with wisecracks like: If you believe it so much why have you not written a word in the last 3 months? or I see, so you CAN create whenever you want, but you just havent WANTED to lately??
All of us have negative thoughts around our creativity.
By first taking an honest barometer reading of where we are with our beliefs, we can then take action to improve them.
Imagine for a moment how it would be if you actually did believe those two positive statements above:
My creative ability is deeper than the ocean...
I believe I can create whatever I want to create, whenever I want to create it...
What would it be like if you totally believed these kind of affirmations and you lived, behaved and created accordingly?
What difference would it make to your creativity?
Isnt that the kind of creative life you want to strive towards? The kind of free flowing, richly rewarding creativity that, deep down, all creative artists long for?
So, its time to start taking action towards that life and that mindset.
Write down all the positive statements you can think of that someone who was highly confident in their creative abilities would say.
Then, pick your favourite 5 and say them out loud to yourself AT LEAST 10 times a day.
Stick to this routine and after just a couple of weeks youll notice a change in your attitude and confidence in creating, and as result will be able to smash through those limitations and increase your creativity overall.
