Using creativity to rediscover yourself, get unstuck from mental blocks, heal from trauma or mental health disorders, or become more fulfilled, is powerful and life-changing.

 

How to use creativity to rediscover yourself

Whether you feel lost because you went through a divorce, your children have grown and moved out, or have experienced any other life-changing situation, you can use creativity to rediscover yourself. Creativity is a way to tap into the place you were when you were younger.

Alex believes everyone is creative. Either you are using it and are connected to it, or you are disconnected from it. You had creativity when you were young, but it has been pushed down as you aged or went through life. Creativity is part of the mental conversation because staying connected with it allows you to process things and you have the tools to deal with the. When you lose that, you lose the ability to deal with mental health.

Using creativity to get unstuck as an entrepreneur

When feeling stuck as an entrepreneur, you can tap into your creativity to get re-motivated to do the tasks you have to do. You can also be more authentic in your self-expression. When you use your creativity, you are full of light and your personality shines through and you attract the right people.

How do we lose our gift of creativity?

Creativity goes beyond art. It can be used in business and help you stay on the cutting edge. As kids, we have no reservations about sharing our creativity. Unfortunately, in the US, arts programs are often the first to be cut, this decreases resources for creative exploration. And in their teen years, people become more self-conscious about what others will think about them. Whereas when young, we are proud to show all that we create.

As a coach, Alex gives people permission to tap into creativity and create things again without the expectation to be perfect. Perfectionism stops so many things and prevents creative exploration.

Alex believes that if people are expressing themselves and tapping into creativity they will feel better. They will be more relaxed, more excited, and better at expressing themselves and what you need, which in turn helps with relationships. It also helps you with work, has a business, or wants to raise or charge for your services.
