Creative People

Hello, Wonderful, Creative People!

Today we will talk again about one of the foundational  concepts of the work we do at Creatively, LLC: that Creative People are unique! Creative  People are a specific kind of people, with specific strengths and needs in their creative personality. The  trouble is, most of us don’t know about them, and don’t take care of our Creative Personalities well. 

One of the Hallmarks of a Creative Person, a Creative Personality, is Strength.

That means powerful drives,  powerful passions, powerful impulses, powerful emotions- a Creative Personality has it all. It is  Mother Nature’s gift to sustain the difficult work required of innovation and creation. Creation demands authenticity, questioning, and digging deep- often requiring Creative People to go against the flow, question norms, and form their own opinions. This requires a lot of power!  That is why it is part of your personality. You will need it for the creative work you do!

Authenticity and Meaning-Making for Creative People

Authenticity and meaning-making go hand-in-hand as two more features of your Creative  Personality. Creative People are driven to live authentically, contribute to the world, and make  meaning of their lives. When they are thwarted in one of these tasks in their lives, their  powerful drives and feelings become frustrated and blocked. Your Creative Work is the main  way in which you contribute meaning to your life. Your big passions allow you to reflect your  experiences to the lives of others, impacting them in a meaningful way. When you live  authentically, your creative contributions are truly important, unique, and your own. This is  your recipe to good living as a Creative Person. ​

But, Creative People Have Blocks!

When, however, you become blocked in meaning-making, or, something is preventing you from  living authentically, your powerful feelings, drives, passions, and impulses become blocked  and/or unhealthy. If you are living within the confines of a creatively unsatisfying or unhealthy  life, you may suffer from powerful anxiety, depression, or other emotional problems. You may  have powerful impulses that stray from healthy, creative meaning-making urges, to more  destructive, self-soothing, or numbing cravings. ​

The World is Not Set Up for Supporting Creative People

Unfortunately, the problem is, the world continues to devalue the importance of creative living.  Creative pursuits are undervalued, and creative professions are underpaid. Most creative  individuals are encouraged to tamp down their passions, and spend time doing things deemed  more “productive” by society. You become another cog in a wheel and are left confused as to why you are unhappy.  

How Are You, and the Other Creative People You Know Affected?

There are many Creative People in the world, and this is a true story told by too many. The  truth is, the most stabilizing thing you can do in your life, as a Creative Person, is to be  Creative. How is one to do that when they have systematically replaced all the Creativity in  their life? When they aren’t sure what it even means to be a Creative Person anymore?  

What is Creativity Counseling or Creativity Coaching?

Creativity Counseling and Creativity Coaching are designed with you in mind. Care specifically for Creative People, you regain control and satisfaction over your life in three main steps: 
1) Master your Creative Personality 
2) Discover the link between your Creative Personality and Mental Health
