Part of this post is a testimonial that I wrote for my Creative Coach Murielle Marie.
In October 2023 I was in a desperate state. Completely blocked. A million ideas were fighting for attention in my mind, and not one was converting into action. It was a creative coma of some sort. I couldn’t move in any direction, there were too many possibilities. I knew I needed help. I interviewed a few creative coaches before I got to Murielle. Right away, I felt she would be the right one, and though it was a big investment for me, I did not hesitate… my creative sink had to be unclogged (Or I would end up sinking). And so session by session, things unravelled. Murielle was brilliant in listening and actively dismantling the problems I had. We had a focused session every 2 weeks, zoning in on a specific problem. And then I would go off and put those ideas into action. In the next session, we would talk about it, and then discuss a new problem. As each session progressed, a new roadblock was removed and the horizon got clearer and clearer, and my excitement and potential increased. Today, I still fee rejuvenated and confident about what’s to come. I can assureedly say that I’m the master of my own destiny, and it’s up to me to continue the momentum of the wind that Murielle has provided to my creative sails. The biggest thing that I overcame was getting stuck in a rut of overthinking and over analyzing. I can now recognise when I'm in this siutation and instead of just thinking about it, take action. Action is the key. Only action lead to a different way of thinking. You cannot solve thought problems with thought! Most of thinking consists of hyphotheses based on assumption. For real results you need experimentation. Also when you act, it's a more wholistic way of thinking, that involves your whole body and your emotions. Over the upcoming weeks I can talk more and more about all I learnt in this course, this is just the first session that I'm summarizing!
