Believe in the Muse, Beware of Resistance: Harnessing the Power of Creativity
As creatives, we all have a muse that inspires us. The muse is the source of our imagination and the driving force behind our artistic creations. But, just like any other journey, the path to creativity is not always easy. There are obstacles along the way that can hold us back and prevent us from realizing our full potential. This is where resistance comes in.
Resistance is the inner voice that tells us we’re not good enough, that we’re not ready, or that what we’re doing is pointless. It’s the devil on our shoulder that tempts us to give up and move on to something else. In the graphic I created, Hades is depicted as the force that creates these chains of resistance, holding us back from visiting the muses and realizing our full creative potential.
But the good news is that resistance is not real. It is all invented nonsense in our head. And the key to breaking free from it is to simply start. To show up and take action, no matter how small the step may be.
Be a Vessel for the Muses
Picture yourself as a vessel for the muses, open and ready to receive their inspiration. Imagine the muses as beautiful and powerful beings, waiting to bless you with their gifts. See yourself breaking the chains of resistance and stepping into the light of creativity.
Resistance
The problem is that we often get caught up in our own self-doubt and negative thoughts. We let resistance hold us back and prevent us from realizing our full potential. This can lead to a lack of creativity, decreased motivation, and missed opportunities.
Objections
Some may argue that they’re not creative or that they don’t have the time or resources to pursue their creative interests. But the truth is, everyone has the capacity for creativity and there are always ways to make time for it. It’s just a matter of prioritizing and making it a priority.
The Benefit of our Framework
The benefits of believing in the muse and overcoming resistance are numerous. You’ll experience increased creativity, motivation, and fulfillment. You’ll also be able to bring your ideas to life and make a real impact in the world. And most importantly, you’ll be living a more authentic and true life, free from the chains of resistance.
How to Make Fighting Resistance Fun
To make the journey more fun and engaging, try gamifying the process. Set goals and reward yourself for reaching them. Celebrate your wins and learn from your failures. This will keep you motivated and focused on your creative journey.
Used in Our Own Work
As someone who has been on this journey myself, I can attest to the power of creativity and the importance of overcoming resistance. Through my own experiences, I’ve learned that showing up and taking action is the key to breaking free from the chains of resistance. And when I do, the muses come to me and I become a vessel for their concepts. It’s a beautiful and empowering experience that I wish for everyone.
In conclusion, believe in the muse and beware of resistance. Recognize that resistance is not real and that the only thing holding you back is yourself. Visualize yourself as a vessel for the muses, overcome objections, and gamify the process for maximum fun and motivation. And remember, the benefits of unlocking your creative.
