One of the most common barriers to expressing our creativity is the difficulty we have to leave the framework of our habits (think, do, organize our lives). This is similar to what psychology calls “resistance to change,” the tendency of everyone to avoid the risk of thwarting his opinions, which relies on its sense of personal identity, the ego.
Any disruption of our benchmarks causes a feeling of depersonalization leading to anxiety and the mobilization of “defense mechanisms” to find her sitting shaken. However, any creative act, even the simplest, has something a little “revolutionary” because it is breaking the boundaries of the known.
Fortunately, we have the means to exceed our temporary structures. Unless they are hampered by psychological blocks important residues of the past (fear of rejection, lack of confidence, inhibiting fear of failure), the creative faculties of man are still there, available and ready to grow … however long they are fed.
