No, emotional stress just wants to get out. I think it’s an easy way to try and force creativity at your own expense. If the stress is simply part of your life and your journey you can transmute it into positive creativity and overcome, however if you strive for emotional stress in your life just to create, that’s cheating yourself and is self inflicted forced “creativity”.

From the past month I have been thinking about creativity, how to develop it, where to find creative people because I believe that if I am surrounded by creative people then I will pick up their traits and ideas. What seems to be challenging is recognising creativity, I have heard that you as an individual has certain hunches that spring up in the mind at anytime but it just knowing when it is there any remembering to take note. I desire to create something out of the ordinary to enrich other peoples lives, sort of like an innovator.

Great insights here, and I agree with most of it, especially the concept of wu wei, I find when I struggle and try to come up with an idea for a blog post, or a way to earn more money, I end up easily tired and give up easily when my ideas don’t come to fruition. There’s a good Zen saying “The desire to win robs you of power”.

There’s also another school of thought that says stress, especially emotional stress can lead to creativity, such as when you’re depressed or angry at something. You agree that this can lead to creativity?

very good post; creativity is an essential part of everyday life. It helps us grow. You are asolutely right about how important it is to be relaxed and to drop ideas about beliefs. Creativity is central core to a human and doesn't need to be hindered by beliefs that "cage" it up and stop it's flow! .-= Sean Durham´s last undefined ..Response cached until Sat 1 @ 20:27 GMT (Refreshes in 23.68 Hours) =-.

hi Ivan – I think I encounter a lot of pressures you mentioned here, as being part of a ‘creative’ role. Undue pressures arise, and it’s quite refreshing to see clear vision of what it means to get back to the basics. I have an innate tendency to try things to perfection, and i end up (often) exhausting myself without results – or quickly losing interest in it. Thanks for the post, will try to apply the tips.
