4 Healthy Strategies When You're Feeling Angry as an Artist
Can you get mad without going mad?
In the proper context, anger can motivate us to react, to change things, to move in new directions. As creatives, our emotions are often the main catalyst behind our inspiration.
But what about unhealthy anger? Can creatives harness this feeling and express it without harming ourselves emotionally?
In this passionate discussion, we pinpoint the delicate balance between authentic anger and an unhealthy bitterness that eats away at the soul of the artist, and discuss for areas where we can express our frustrations in healthy ways.
Key Topics covered in this episode
- How anger can be a good indicator of where we need to act
- Why bitterness is a killer emotion when it comes to creativity
- Where the artist can turn when anger begins to become an unhealthy emotion
- Biblical examples of how to handle intense emotions
- Why attitude, audiences, actions and authenticity are so important to maintaining inner peace when you feel legitimate anger.
