In the moments of feeling hurt, helpless, I don't know what to do- go to your zone of creative genius.
Feeling stuck and overwhelmed during a pandemic? Sam Bennett, a writer, actor, and creativity expert, joins Dr. Marcia Sirota in this episode of 'Ruthless Compassion' to discuss how tapping into our creative side can be a game-changer during challenging periods. Bennett, known for her bestselling books like 'Get It Done: From Procrastination to Creative Genius in 15 Minutes a Day', shares her journey and tips on how creativity can transform negative emotions into positive actions.
Originally from Chicago and now living by the beach in California, Bennett brings a wealth of experience from her work with The Organized Artist Company, which helps people unlock their creative potential. She emphasizes that even small creative acts can make a big difference, especially for those who feel overwhelmed or stuck. According to Bennett, allowing ourselves to create—even if it's not perfect—can offer new perspectives and emotional relief.
One key takeaway from the conversation is the importance of giving ourselves permission to be creative, no matter how messy or imperfect the results might be. Bennett explains that art doesn't have to be 'good' to be valuable; it's the process that counts. She also touches on the need for self-care and setting aside at least 15 minutes a day to work on personal goals.
Bennett's insights are particularly relevant for introverts who may feel pressured to take public stands or constantly be 'on'. She reassures listeners that it's okay to prioritize privacy and self-care. This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice and emotional support for anyone looking to use creativity as a tool for coping with difficult times.
