Okay, now we have self-imposed Limitations out of the way. We know there are some underpinnings to what leads us to roadblocks.

And, and we know the roadblocks are temporary, and we can work past them.

Now, I want to know, how do you define creativity?

The textbook definition of being creative doesn’t matter right now.

Think of what creativity means to you. How you define creativity. Write it down right now.

When I started this podcast I had tons I wanted to say. My drive to Crete episodes, create content, share with you all what motived me as a creative, as a person, a professional, and a student was through the roof. I’ve made it to season 8, and I am feeling like I said all that I needed to say. I’ve shared it all. OF course I am experiencing new things everyday. But as we all do from time to time, we hit a rough patch or a road block when it comes to inspiration, productivity, and creativity. Right now I am hitting a wall right. I am at a roadblock, and the logical thing to do is to figure out how to work past this road block. This road block has me thinking about self-imposed limitation. The limitation that I’ve created for myself, that are right now, in this moment, hindering me from finding solutions to move past this roadblock. And that is what we are going to be talking about today, self-imposed limitations. I am your host Don, Welcome to the Creative.

Over the past couple of decades, I have collected a fair amount of achievements. I have not had the chance to reflect on my achievements due to not slowing down but speeding up and jumping on to the next experience as fast as humanly possible.

I am still trying to determine if this is a me thing. How I am as a person.

Is it cultural, societal, without looking for someone to blame for my lack of attention, but a way to determine what fuels my need to experience and achieve rapidly and linearly? I call this running a million miles a minute. Doing this has robbed me of really understanding what I have accomplished.

I am sure I am not the only one. Most of us fail to acknowledge our own achievements. Although we celebrate them, imposter syndrome is always there, and the feeling of doubt is not too far behind.

This could be because of how we criticize ourselves due to high standards set by ourselves and others. Feel like we are moving too slow, that we are behind, and when we actually accomplish our goal, we shoot it down, we minimize it, it becomes this thing that no longer has value. We bury it, and we move forward...

Welcome back, if you are new here welcome, I am your host Don, and for today’s episode, I will be talking about the fear of starting something new. We can sometimes get stuck in a routine, because it is familiar, and starting something new can be scary, stressful, and uncomfortable, although we know the benefits of these new things. I am saying this because I’ve been stuck in a loop as to when TheCreative should transition to covering other topics outside of mental health and productivity. There are some benefits, and downsides to making the transitions, but what is creativity without taking some risks?

Fear and self-doubt are two main reasons why we fail to take action even though we know we should. It is also, waiting for the right time, fear of change, waiting for others to catch up to our speed of change, maybe not adjusting to change fast enough, and another big one is procrastination.

You could even say procrastination is one of the leading causes of failure to take action. But let’s take a closer look at procrastination. Why are you procrastinating? Is it because you don’t really want whatever it is you are working towards? Are you working towards a goal that you believe other will approve of you once you reach this goal? Are you working towards a goal because you truly want to achieve this goal? Or because you done know what else to do?

Staying motivated is simple. You can stay motivated by Tracking what your motivations are. Track them by the time of day, week, quarter, year, or month and over time see if they correlate based on the time of year. There you go, its that simple, but not really.

Let’s get into it
