I am weird, I am not normal and this is good. And if I'm not good enough, that is just in itself. The more I nurture my artist child, the more adult I am able to appear.
Vanessa Castro takes listeners on a heartfelt journey in this episode of 'The Journey to Creativity'. She opens up about her personal battles with authenticity and how the pressure from external sources often turns into self-imposed creative blocks. Vanessa invites you to ponder whether these external criticisms are, in fact, ghosts from your past still haunting your present mind. She breaks down the process of overcoming these blocks into three steps: recognition, acceptance, and creating positive alternatives.
Each step is a dance that Vanessa believes we must continually engage in to maintain our creative flow. She shares her struggle with the tendency to consider everyone's opinions, which often stifles her ability to take a firm stance. This fear of not being accepted or causing conflict can be a significant hurdle for many artists. Vanessa emphasizes the importance of nurturing your inner artist, even if it means dedicating just a few minutes each day to creative endeavors.
According to Vanessa, creativity is essential for emotional well-being, and she encourages listeners to prioritize it in their lives. With her candid admission, 'I am weird, I am not normal and this is good', Vanessa underscores the importance of embracing your unique self. Tune in to hear Vanessa's insightful reflections and practical advice on breaking free from creative blocks and living an authentic artistic life.
