Following the Compass of the Heart: A Guided Imagery on Discovery ...

A leading creativity coach Eric Maisel discusses "performing" as a classic anxiety producer. It consists of a great many different fears: the fear of being seen as flawed, the fear of criticism, the fear of disappointing people, the fear of being in power, the fear of embarrassment and humiliation, the fear of imperfection, the fear of loss of control, and even more dramatic fears like the fear of loss of love and approval and the fear of annihilation.

Creativity Coaching Guided Imagery Script

By Molly Anderson-Childers & Chris Dunmire

Visualize a treasure map leading to your creative dreams, or a specific project or goal. X marks the spot for creative adventure! Visit the Island of the Muses, sail the Sea of Ideas and catch a dream-fish or two, and set your course for adventure. There may be storms and squalls ahead — but know you are always safe here, and in control.

Name your creative demons. Do you suffer from procrastination, self-doubt, fears, and vicious Inner Critics? Let them be represented here as sea-monsters, storms. Picture your Inner Critics as a band of roving pirates, bent on hijacking your confidence, your inspiration, and your time. In this way, you can learn to deal with these pitfalls, and avoid them in the future.

Set sail on a sea of ink, and cast your nets for a dream-fish. Consult your map, and steer your course towards your goal. On the way you will encounter obstacles, so take a moment to meditate on the ways you will deal with threats to your creative soul-work. Think about the parts of your life that don’t serve or support your creative soul-work. What stops you from living your most joyful, juicy creative dreams? Lack of time? Fear of rejection? Stress over money? A rampaging Inner Critic?

Rejection letters, bad reviews, botched assignments, and other creative crises can be a serious blow to your confidence. It can be tough to bounce back from artistic failures and mistakes — but you must persevere. Take a moment to think about how you can become more resilient, and triumph over these obstacles. Creating a treasure map in your mind can help you see your artistic journey at a distance — a very helpful perspective when skies grow stormy and the waters are rough.

With the right perspective, you can see these obstacles for what they truly are — necessary steps along the creative path, which every artist must overcome in order to grow and thrive. Seeing the true nature of these pitfalls will allow you to navigate even the stormiest of seas.
