DO NOT LISTEN

Denying our own innate creativity is a super common reflex among adult humans in this culture. It almost feels like the popular way to be, as though there’s some kind of clout — maybe a cool show of humility? — in rejecting this part of ourselves. It keeps us safe from, you know, joy and authenticity and scary things like that. 😉

I spent a few decades playing the “I’m not creative” game myself, but now that gig is up.

Enter: Episode 2 of the Making Soul Podcast

Note: If you are determined to stay stuck in your false “uncreativehood”, then you will NOT want to listen to today’s episode of the Making Soul Podcast. That’s because in it, I offer some words of encouragement that I give to my art students on the first (and sometimes, every subsequent) day of class.

I also dream aloud about how inspiring and constructive a place our world could be if we each just harnessed one or two percent more of our capacity for imagination. Think of the problems we could solve! Imagine the beauty we could create!

But again, DON’T LISTEN if you’re happy staying stuck in your rut. 🫠 The choice is entirely up to you.

If you’re a brave soul who does decide to listen, I’d love to know how my words and thoughts land with you. 🤔 Do tell in the comments below, or by sending me an email.
