Make time for art

Coaching for Creative People

I have to title this post “Make the Time for Art” because this is so very crucial for Creative People! Creatives, not for the first time, I have tell you again how vital it is for you to be creative for your health and wellness!  In my graduate thesis, I discovered very robust findings that the more creative the person the more impactful creativity is on their overall wellness.  In other words, you need to create to be well!  Not only is it crucial for you to be doing creative work to stay the best versions of yourselves, but never has it been more important to the fabric of humanity for creative visions to be shared to make room and hope for growth and change.  Creativity lays the foundation for where we go in the future, and that, Creative, is you!

Busy Creative People

I know that even if you agree with me, and all of this sounds good, that life gets in the way.  You may have a 9-5 job that occupies your time and leaves little time for any creative endeavors.  You may be in a creative job but feel trapped in your creative business agenda and unable to invest in your own creative pursuits.  You may have finished art school and not sure what to do with your art next. You may feel generally stuck or uninspired.  You may feel inhibited by imposter syndrome.  You may be raising children or supporting family members and feel you have no time to invest in your creativity. Money may be an issue.  Resources can be a problem.  Even our own bodies give us limitations.  Believe me, I get it.  As an artist I have faced some of these myself.  ​

Lives of Creative People

What I can tell you is it is normal for your creative journey and how and where you invest your time to change over time.  You may go from a full time art student to a full time administrator with art as a side-hustle. You may be a dancer or a musician performing with a company and end up investing instead in a different profession and enjoy music and dance in your community as a performer or even teacher.  You will need to create your creative journey over and over again.  It will be frustrating to do this. You might feel like you sold out, failed or let yourself go, but this is just the normal process of change in life.  You get to decide what you want to do with your life and creativity and when, and your pathway is your own.

Tips for Busy Creative People

In a recent #createwellminutecast on YouTube  I shared a tip to get you started to find windows of opportunity to get reengaged in your creative work.  Check it out- it was episode 103- but essentially the tip was write out a schedule of your typical day, and indicate ANYWHERE YOU HAVE 15 MINUTES OR MORE UNUSED.  This time is enough for you to do some version of creative work.  It is trial and error to see how and what fits into your life.  It requires acceptance of where you are and what works.  ​

Connecting with Other Creative People

My second recommendation to you is see how you can plug yourself into your creative community.  There are opportunities all around you to get engaged- but you don't have to look too far! You can connect with my community of artists in the Creatively Online Residency! Try various things and get yourself plugged in.  The culminative energy of creative people working together is beyond compare and the motivation of events, classes and even little project deadlines keep you engaged.

A Creative Personality Snapshot

Authenticity in Creative People

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. 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.

A Creative Personality is Original

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.

A Creative Personality Dislikes Constraints

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.

Embrace your Creative Personality

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).
