Becoming Unapologetically Me is the podcast for people who know that they have more inside them and want it to come out. In this episode, host Helen Norbury discusses the truth about creativity. Creativity isn’t limited to art - it manifests in many ways. Helen unpacks the importance of creativity and self-expression, and discusses how they intersect with courage and confidence.
Clarity precedes courage, Helen shares. When you have a clear idea of what you want to achieve, courage becomes easier - as your clarity goes up, your fear goes down. “When we recognize our fears, we can start to dissolve them… they don’t hold power anymore.” To Helen, courage is foundational in creative expression. The joy of living a self-expressed life should not be underestimated, she remarks; the feeling of being alive everyday, feeling engaged and inspired by everything is like seeing color in a monochrome world.
“This isn't about taking the shiny, socially-acceptable, nice bits leaving the rest behind,” Helen shares, “This is a full expression of all of the parts of you.” An important thing to acknowledge is the popular discussion about left brainers and right brainers - creativity versus implementation. Without creativity, there’d be nothing to implement, and without implementation, creativity would have no outlet. Both play equal parts in the world. In fact, creativity fosters methods of implementation.
Once we’re fully expressed and being very creative, how do we now build confidence? It begins with not tying confidence to anything external. External things can change at the drop of a hat, and you need your confidence to be there regardless. The next key is to reward the effort, not the outcome. Ultimately, confidence stems from a belief in yourself that you can figure things out.
Key Takeaways
- By acknowledging your fears, you give them less power over you.
- Creativity and implementation are equally important and exist in balance with each other.
- Don’t tie your confidence to external things like money or good looks - those things can change.
