Tapping for Creativity
As children, we are all creative. We can use EFT to assist us in whatever quality we want to enhance in ourselves. Creativity is an intensely valuable quality and as children, we are all creative. The problem is that our creativity gets squashed along the way – and often our self-esteem with it. Others may have made us feel shamed in the past, and now it doesn’t feel safe to put our ideas or work forward.
Even though my teacher said … (I deeply and completely accept myself)
Even though I was put down for being different …
Even though I was laughed at …
Even though my parents discouraged me from pursuing a creative/artistic career …
Even though I was told being creative didn’t bring in a secure income …
Even though I was told being creative was no way to make a living …
Even though I was criticised for my creative endeavours …
Even though I was shamed as a child …
Even though I was unfairly criticised …
Of course you need to tackle the fears of what using your creativity might bring.
Even though I’ll look foolish …
Even though it’s not safe to expose my work/ideas …
Even though I’m afraid of being vulnerable again …
Even though I might be humiliated or embarrassed …
Even though my creativity might be limited to one good thing …
Even though I’m scared of people’s expectations …
Even though my family or friends might be hurt/upset …
Even though it’s too dangerous to express myself …
Watch how you keep yourself stuck through episodes of criticism and self-doubt.
Even though I’m filled with self-doubt …
Even though I sabotage my creativity …
Even though I’m my own worst critic …
Even though I shut the door in the face of my creativity …
Even though I ignore/deny my creativity …
Even though I procrastinate in taking creative action …
Even though I procrastinate in expressing myself …
You can ask yourself questions to stimulate creativity – some good ones are:
How can I do this differently?
How can I do this an easier way?
What would make a big difference here?
What is a new perspective?
