✉️ The Creative Life NewsletterThe artist’s journey is long. I write a newsletter to help you stay on it 👉 https://jim-kroft.short.gy/0925A/Jim-Kroft-newsletterWelcome back to The Creative Life Podcast!Yesterday I walked into work with three thousand photos to edit, but an urge to create. Logic said “stick to the plan.” But something deeper said: create now.This episode is about that moment — when you’re torn between the work you should do, and the feeling something wants to break out of you.In it, I share what I learned about giving in to instinct, chasing the spark when it strikes, and protecting creativity in a culture that encourages over-planning.What we'll dig into:🌊 Why giving in to impulse can revive your spark when the plan feels dead🧠 The fight between head and heart — and how it shapes your work🔥 What happens when you follow the mood instead of repressing it🎯 How goals fit in without suffocating creativity or joy🕊️ Why creating from raw experience brings your work back to lifeI'm your host Jim, thank you so much for being here!If you'd like to support the podcast, please take a moment to rate and review - it helps so much.Let' dive in!📺 YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/jimkroft🎧 Spotify Music:spoti.fi/4aHoI0Y📷 Instagram:https://bit.ly/3Scy6S3🎙️Podcast:https://bit.ly/3OycQVOToday's music is from Artlist.  ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
