'I am not creative!' is something I really used to believe. I carried from childhood into adulthood. I thought creativity wasn't my thing. Perhaps you can relate. It sounds like something which could hold us back. An unhelpful bit of insecure thinking. 

But there is something much deeper to see here. It's the creating we don't know we are doing all day every day. The creation of our thinking which we then believe. The thinking about the future, the stories about other people's thinking and the nonsense we believe about ourselves.

All creations and none of it true. But your wonderful system has provided you with a failsafe warning system; YOUR FEELINGS! Like a lighthouse warning you that you are too close to the rocks you feelings are always letting you know about your state of mind. They are letting you know you are creating a day-mare! And the more tuned in you become to that warning system, the more easily you can spot you amazing creative power of thought at work.
