How To Find The Creative Support Your Creativity Needs And Deserves

One of the major reasons why many of us don’t create more – and don’t find it easy to create – is because we feel completely isolated.

How often do you wish someone would at least acknowledge that your creative work is valid and worthwhile? How often do you long to just be appreciated for being creative and for regularly stepping up and creating what matters, despite the waves of indifference your efforts are greeted with?

All of us deserve to be supported in our creative work. With the backing and encouragement of others who create, you too can see your creativity soar to previously unseen levels.

The main problem is often that you’re not even giving anyone a chance to help you.

Remember Superman? How by day he lived as mild mannered Clark Kent, and managed to keep his amazing secret from everyone around him. How much are you being a Clark Kent with your creativity?

How often do you keep your creative work hidden and secretive from everyone around you? What kind of message does this send to everyone. More importantly, what kind of message does it send to YOU?

If you’re not willing to be openly creative, what is that telling your subconscious about how important creating is to you?

Your subconscious is not exactly hearing: “Say it long and say it loud, I’m creative and I’m proud!”

Once you start to get a little support, you’ll realise how many other creative people are in a similar position, and feel equally isolated and alone in their creative efforts.

Once you begin to open up to these kind of supportive creative colleagues – people who are travelling the same kind of journey as you are – you’ll rapidly become more open in your creating, and more confident.

So how can you find other creative people that will support you?

Locally, you can check out your library and community notices to find out what kind of creative and artists groups are running. Sometimes it might mean travelling a little way, but the benefits of being amongst other creative people, especially if you’ve not really experienced it much before, can be huge.

Alternatively, there are the almost infinite number of groups, clubs and forums available on the internet.

The fact that you’re reading this article now means your relatively comfortable using the internet, so it would be easy for you to look for creative communities that are right for you.

Try typing in your type of creativity into a search engine, “Writer’s group” for example, or “Scrapbooking Forum” and see what comes up. Spend some times delving into some of these groups, getting to know how it works and what people are sharing.

Then, take the plunge and get involved!

You’ll find as well as the many benefits this kind of creative community can bring your own creativity, supporting others in creating gives a wonderful reward in itself.
