In this first few weeks of immersion into a creativity coaching certification, I'm noticing that I have a lot of resistance. Here's what I'm pushing up against: taking a class on the telephone, posting assignments to a Yahoo Group, learning new ways of doing things.
The last one is a real whack upside the head. Isn't creativity all about new ways of looking at the same old, same old?
I'm also noticing that I'm resisting asking questions, out of self consciousness and fear that I'm being difficult. Isn't creativity all about asking questions, too?
Here's a quote from Robert Moses' The 3 Only Things:
To be creative in life does not require us to follow a particular line. You don't need to be a writer, an artist, or a musician to be creative - though you may be in thh process of discovering that you are those things, too. To create is to bring something new into the world.
May your day be filled with the Magic Medicine of discovery.
