We are all guilty of doing this to ourselves. What excuses, reasons or beliefs have you used to hold you back from creating. In this episode, here are just a few common reasons I've heard over the years. Let's dive in and deconstruct some of them, because it is so important that you recognize that majority of the time, these reasons or excuses are not grounded in reality.

Balancing Your Creative Spirit with Your Human Brain
We have a tendency to operate from our human brain 80-90% of the time. Sometimes we don't realize it and this can drain us energetically, overwhelm our nervous system and make us feel anxious about the future. It's important to recognize when we need a break from operating from the human brain and renourish our creative soul by doing something creative. Our Creative Spirit needs and craves that time. This is where we reconnect to our source, our true self and what is real. When we do this we feel more clear and resilient to face challenges.

Reclaim Your Creativity & Return To Your True Self
This episode marks a year of running this podcast and why I want to talk about something important. Reclaiming your creativity and why it is vital to your existance. If you have become disconnected from the creative thing you "used to do" and it's been years since you've done the thing you loved, the time to reclaim and reawaken it is now. We've all been there at one point in our life where we let our creativity fall to the sidelines of our life. It's never too late to begin again.

Are negative stories in your head preventing you from your creative potential?
Part of being the best artist you can be and the longevity of your creativity, is to practice self-awareness. Being creative, especially if you are doing it professionally isn’t always smooth sailing and comes with its own challenges. In fact, to embark on a creative journey requires courage and perseverance. Because with all the beautiful creations you create, comes self-doubt, insecurities, disappointments and vulnerabilities. But what can make it unnecessarily harder on yourself is believing the stories that run through your head regarding your creativity, art and yourself as an artist. Be very careful of the trickster or the ego. Its primary job is to look out for your welfare, but the stories it tells you are not always rooted in reality.
