Description

Are you a perfectionist?Do you have big ideas and procrastinate spectacularly?Do you have bold dreams and continue to play small?The creative process requires us to step into uncertainty and make mistakes, which naturally causes anxiety. If we're not prepared for creative anxiety and the emotional rollercoaster that is creative life, it's all too easy to develop unhealthy coping mechanisms such as perfectionism, over-working, over-planning, procrastination, playing small and even giving up. These habits give us short term relief but in the long run they weaken our resilience - leading to self doubt, creative burnout and deep regret. Buzzy Lewis knew this disempowered state all too well. She had a university degree in graphic design, the technical skills, talent and passion, but fear consumed her. 'Being Creative' is the result of Buzzy's gritty determination to reclaim her creative dreams and the six year research project she embarked on to do so. In this book she shares practical insights while unpacking the skills and strategies needed for a calm creative career free from the fear of failure, a practice she calls the 'Failure Friendly Mindset'. Whether you or someone you love wants to innovate, work in the arts, create content or solve real-world problems, this book will prepare you for the reality of creative work. "No matter what stage you're at on your creative journey, you will gain from this." - Nikki Smith, Registered Psychologist and Career Change Coach
