Use your Super Power!
I have this firm belief that anything is possible if we use our super power: Creativity!
Since the beginning of time, humankind has persevered and used creativity to solve problems and make this world an incredible place. We have built awesome cities, learned to actually fly, we have populated almost every area of the globe, created governments and societies to live in harmony, built a worldwide digital network so that we can communicate with one another from any place on earth, and so much more.
It’s funny as playwrights who use their creativity to write fantastic plays, we often don’t go to our creativity when we are stuck in writing process. We often use the term “Writer’s Block” which is a bunch of bull in my world. “Writer’s Block” is just a thought form, a label created, so that when ideas are not flowing, we can believe that something is doing something to us that prevents us from writing. It is ridiculous.
We are creators. There is never anything in our way other than our thinking, and when we come from that belief, we become unstoppable.
So how do you develop your creativity to the next level so that you can become unstoppable?
Challenge everything.
Challenge every negative belief you have about your possibilities, your writing ability, and your place in this world as a creative artist, for the world is an open book, and you can do and achieve anything, if you can use your creativity to see things under another light, or through another more positive filter.
When you are stuck with your writing (or in your life,) remember your innate creativity, which is, in a way, the God force inside of you, that can help you find creative solutions and new ways of writing and telling your personal stories.
Here are a couple of questions to access your innate creativity to challenge your negative beliefs about your writing and your possibilities:
Is there another way to look at this? (Is this really “Writer’s Block” or am I just tired and dehydrated and need to hydrate and nap?)
Is this really true, or just something I have decided is true based on my past, or what I have been told? What if this wasn’t true? How does that change things?
If I didn’t have this negative “opinion”, this negative thought about this, who would I be?
Who am I with this negative thought about myself?
Which is more fun to live by?
How can I start trusting my “creative intuition” and make some new choices and take some risks?
My favorite question: HOW CAN I MAKE THIS FUN?
In 1969, over 50 years ago, a man was able to fly to the moon, get out of the spaceship, walk around, and then and come back to earth safely! What can you do, using your innate super power Creativity, to take your playwriting and your playwriting career to the next level?
