How to Reclaim Creativity in a World Obsessed with Productivity

In our world, productivity and creativity occupy two different buckets. The former is functional, necessary, and purposeful.  The latter is frivolous, chaotic, and irresponsible. It should be put on the back burner so that we can focus on "more important things." As a result, creative expression ends up as an afterthought, something we can only do after the real work is done. The problem is: so many of us end up feeling disconnected from our creativity, cut off from a vital resource for resonance. What if instead of putting off creativity for later, we could integrate it into everything we do? We can find harmony between creativity and productivity - getting things done and expressing our essence. The key? Integrity and freeing ourselves from the unspoken rules we follow about creativity. In this episode, we share how to recover your creativity and express yourself in a way that's authentically you.  Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -How to unblock your creativity Creativity isn't something specific people manufacture from nothing, it's a natural impulse we all possess.
