Is your imagination sabotaging you?

Being a commercial creative can sometimes feel like you are being split in half.

Going to work and using your creative talent, mainly if it is artistic, seems the easiest decision ever.

You are great at, let's say, drawing, and everyone tells you so. You go through the world knowing you are good at drawing from a very young age. You have an incredible imagination.

After art college, you are fired up; you will go out and smash work.

Then clients get involved (obviously), and the creativity sometimes has to be compromised.

We all know this, but it can be challenging for some to accept it, and then their beliefs as creative people can fight against their role at work; this, I might add, is entirely normal, and I think most people feel this.

The irony is that your brilliant imagination is inadvertently sabotaging you.

If part of you is fighting another part, then it becomes exhausting, and over time that is when we can get burnt out. It can result in mental and physical strain.

Sometimes we have to take time to put all the parts of ourselves back together again.

And that is where I can help you. If you or one of your team is feeling conflict, large or small, in your life, do drop me a line, I'm very easy to talk to drop me a line so that we can chat about how I can help.
