Scoot Out of Unfulfilling Ruts
Are you in a creative rut? Spinning your tires? First you need to realize where you are at. Then you need to understand what's keeping you there. Finally Chris helps you to figure out what actions to take to get out of your rut. Real world examples are explored in this inspirational article.

What is Your Creative Force?
Do you want to reach your highest potential? Are you hitting a ceiling? How do you reap more than you sow? These secrets have always been with you—You simply need to be enlightened about them. This and more can be had by following the advice from Kevin Nixon.

The Anxiety Of Performing
A leading creativity coach Eric Maisel discusses "performing" as a classic anxiety producer. It consists of a great many different fears: the fear of being seen as flawed, the fear of criticism, the fear of disappointing people, the fear of being in power, the fear of embarrassment and humiliation, the fear of imperfection, the fear of loss of control, and even more dramatic fears like the fear of loss of love and approval and the fear of annihilation.

The better a job you do of detaching from outcomes, getting a grip on your negative thoughts, and approaching life philosophically, the more likely it will be that you will be able to perform.
