A Creative Personality Snapshot

Creatives, I toyed for awhile with several topics for today- and decided upon another snapshot of your amazing creative personality. It’s gonna be a short one today but what we may lose in length we will make up for in potency and relevance today, I hope. So, here it is: 

Have you ever been called independent, adventurous or even oppositional?  You may not be surprised to find out that “going your own way” is another fundamental part of your creative personality.

Logically, this makes sense: creative people have to be bold, brazen and independent enough to go against the grain, innovate and create something new.  It takes questioning everything, going against the current and daring to be different.  It also makes us stubborn, beholden to none, afraid of commitment and crappy with dates/times/deadlines/absolutes.  

Sound like you? You like to flow with your feelings- go when you want to, stop when you are ready. You are spontaneous.  You may also find that events scheduled on your calendar loom and may actually have a feeling of dread and heaviness associated with them.  Rules even in the form of deadlines and appointment times to be places can feel confining, restricting and interfere with your ability to respond to your flow.

Unfortunately, Creative, there is no cure for what ails you. Your best bet is to face your struggle like you do everything in life- with passion. Embrace this quality- its enthusiasm, its curiosity and capacity to absorb and feel the world around you.  You may be able to reduce deadlines and scheduling in your life and be more spontaneous, or you may not.  Either way you have what it takes to do things according to your own schedule, or rise to the occasion when expectations are set out for you by others (even if you may not relish it the same).

There are tricks I can teach you to dread less, schedule better, set goals more and be both regimented and organic in the way you live.​
