It's a tough one to write but I hope it might be of interest to some. No doubt the reason creative people have so much problem in this area is the sensitivity that led us to become artists. I suppose it is a built-in occupational hazzard.Brad Tearehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04311014022243382658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5200138797648475238.post-87730447704781521642013-12-08T03:16:03.506-07:002013-12-08T03:16:03.506-07:00Brad this reminds me of Byron Katie (author of Lov...Brad this reminds me of Byron Katie (author of Loving What Is) talking about all fears in this way. If I may paraphrase her… Imagine you have a fear of snakes… and while out walking you se something that looks like a snake on the ground. You suddenly are seized with panic, your hear races, you freeze with a kind of emotional paralysis…. but somehow you move closer and closer and as your eyes focus more clearly you realize the thing is a rope not a snake. Everything changes. You relax, even laugh. It's a rope! <br />And, her books workshops and camps are all about releasing the negatives of our thoughts.<br />Also recently I read something like this, "Danger is (or may be) real. Fear is an option". Isn't that interesting.<br />I have personally experienced a lot of 'easel anxiety' and from day to day am bewildered by frequent emotional the ups and downs with painting. I look forward to reading Polly's book.
