Holistic approach to success
What is success to you?
Creativity is how you cultivate your honest voice.
First things first. Just like with finances. What has the most outstanding balance?
What is success?
How is your health & stress level?
Are you addicted to anything?
Relationship issues?
Satisfied at work or very stressed?
Spiritual or metaphysical practices?
Creativity is tricky because you can't force it come to you. It's not like a mental habit which once memorized enough you can bring it to mind at will. It's not even like a mental muscle. Tricks that used to work to get you creative may not always work. It's good to have several options to get you into the flow.
Burn out is also a real thing. But the best analogy I can think of would be growing a plant. It has to have the right conditions and care to grow. So whether or not you creativity wilts or flourishes depends on how you tend it.
I don't have a green thumb & I personally tell people that a plant has to be depression proof for me to keep it alive. But, I found my plant this is this way...cacti. What I've found out after working at a plant nursery for 6 years is that there is a plant for everyone...yes even the forgetful waterer. Cacti love those kind of plant parents & so do orchids.
So fear not if you struggle with having a green thumb, this doesn't mean being creative is hopeless for you. It just means your set of tricks may look very different from the person next to you. It may also mean gaining new habits which are a little uncomfortable at first but will be like second nature over time.
If you're a highly sensitive person, this is great for creativity but can mean that you get easily overwhelmed by things. Knowing yourself is a very helpful first step of the journey.
