Emotional Rollercoasters: How to Maintain Peace and Balance in your Creative Life
Are we creatives always “in our feels”?
Emotional connection and expression is at the heart of most creative work.
We think and feel, then we create as a response.
But what do we do with the emotions that don’t get worked out in our performances and artworks?
In this episode, we take a deeper dive into the emotions that can paralyze and trap us into a tailspin of imbalanced and rollercoaster feelings.
As a remedy for this unhealthy cycle, we’re sharing three major mindsets that we all must consider in order to have healthy responses to the emotions that accompany our creative lives.
What you’ll learn from this episode:
- Why emotions are a natural, but unpredictable part of our creative process
- Key components of emotional health in the life of a Christian creative
- Why you can’t medicate yourself through creative work
- How to avoid taking on the emotions of your audience and viewers
- How emotions can be a friend and not a foe
