Write Your Story: What Your Creative Resistance Says About You (Hint: It’s Not What You Think)

Do you ever feel like you’d be more creative if you were simply more disciplined? Like you need to get your life together to get some creative work done? That if only your proverbial ducks were in a row, then you’d have access to the creative genius you’ve always imagined? What if the opposite is true? In today’s episode, I explore the relationship between creative resistance (procrastination, laziness, lack of discipline, being “stuck”) and creativity itself. And my take is this: maybe you don’t need to be more disciplined to be more creative. Maybe you need to accept the power of procrastination for what it is: an open door to your creative longings. Join me to unlock a radical acceptance of your laziness, your messiness, your procrastination, your avoidance, your hesitation and even your self-doubt. What if they all belong?
