Build Your Creative Dam to Complete Projects
Introduction
Artists and writers are fueled by an endless stream of curiosity. Our imaginations overflow with ideas and connections, creating a vibrant river of creativity that brings joy to our lives. However, when this flood of ideas becomes overwhelming, our creative output can wane. The solution? Build a creative dam.
A creative dam channels our inspiration into a purposeful flow, easing our efforts and helping us avoid struggle, so we can become the creators we aspire to be.
Strategies to Build Your Creative Dam
Having supported writers and artists in shaping their creative processes for years, I have some tips to help you construct your own creative dam.
1. Commit to Your Project
Select the project that holds the most meaning for you right now. Among all your brilliant ideas, choose the one that will give you the greatest satisfaction upon completion. Commit to finishing it.
2. Create a Structure
Many successful creatives recommend having a regular place or time for writing or creating. A structured environment serves as an effective dam, allowing you to bypass the constant need for reinvigoration. This could be as simple as using a specific notebook, drinking the same type of tea, or sitting in a favorite spot. Establish a routine that works for you.
3. Focus on One Project
If you often juggle multiple projects, as I do, you might need to concentrate on one at a time to ensure completion. It’s a challenge, but try it. Stick with something until it's done and see the rewards that come from following through.
4. Confront Your Fears
As you work towards completion, fears may surface. They can no longer hide behind the excitement of new ideas. Acknowledge them. Write freely about your writing fears for 15 minutes. You may find that giving space to your fears makes them dissolve, allowing your creativity to flow powerfully. Repeat as needed.
5. Stay Accountable
Accountability is crucial. When we commit to others, we’re more likely to follow through. I’ve completed projects like "Create Your Writer's Life" and other works because I had accountability. Engage with writing buddies, join a group, or hire a coach to support your journey.
6. Enjoy the Process
Life is challenging enough?"your creative work should be enjoyable. Relax and embrace your creative expression. Shed any heaviness or despair. Remember, creativity should enrich your life, not weigh it down.
Conclusion
By building your creative dam, you can channel your creativity into fulfilling, completed projects. If you find yourself struggling after a month, seeking coaching might be beneficial. Embrace the journey and watch your creativity thrive!
