I’m not Creative

"I'm not creative" isn't a benign description; it's a horrible self-debilitating prescription.

How many people do you hear say that they’re not creative? Too many.

This is a good example of a belief system that’s taken over to where they now actually believe it. They’ve put on the lenses of ‘I’m not creative’ through which they see the world. Then they find an overabundance of examples to support why they’re not creative. This happens with anything we start to believe in ourselves. 

I used to think I could sing until a friend’s comments got me thinking I couldn’t. I took it to heart and now I still struggle with finding the right pitch. My thinking became a belief system that successfully manifested the outcome.

Have you ever thought of doing something and then did it? Ever thought of saying something, then said it? Your thought created those actions and words. So you ARE creative whether you think so or not.

The best way to be creative is to not try. If you want a good idea, listen to the subconscious and you’ll hear the million ideas that are already there. Those people we label as “creative” aren’t necessarily so; they simply know how to put their ear to the ground, listen to what the universe is saying, and get out of the way. 

Creativity isn’t a talent only some people have. And it isn’t work; it’s the antithesis of work. It is the result of letting go of thinking and letting the universe visit YOU with ideas. When your mind is in a relaxed state, and not trying, barriers, such as “I’m not creative,” go away and the abundance of ideas (which is always waiting) comes flying into your brain. If you stop trying so hard to convince yourself that you aren’t creative, you’ll discover you already are.
