For several months now I have been struggling with my creative side. To be honest, I just haven’t felt inspired. Nor have I had the energy to go out and create, especially for personal projects.
And all of this has left me feeling kind of lost with my photography business. I just don’t know what I should be focusing my creative energy. Family Portraits? Kids? High School Seniors? Weddings?
I’ve come to the realization that I just can’t do this alone. I need someone to kick my ass and help me see things from a different perspective. So last month I took the plunge and signed up for a very intensive 3 day coaching workshop. It’s called Fight Club.
From the sounds of it, I will probably walk away emotionally bruised and drained but I believe I will have the perspective I have been searching for.
Recently I stumbled across a website called Soul Art Studio created by Laura Hollick. She’s created this healing journey for creatives to help people find themselves I guess you could say based on her own journey. Right now I am open for trying new things to help me move beyond this creative block.
One of the tools on the Soul Art website is to help you figure out what kind of creative spirit you have. I have to say, the results spoke volumes to me. It also gave me the feeling that I am not the only one who struggles with the journey of figuring out your life’s purpose. It also gave me hope that I am on the right path and that soon I will have a clearer vision.
Your creative spirit type is: Journey Walker
