I talked about anxiety like goldilocks--too little anxiety, you lack motivation, too much, you are debilitated....how do you capture the "just right" amount. Like what if procrastinators were able to take a pill that made them more anxious (opposite of an anti-anxiety drug). After blabbering on for a few minutes, people brought up this interesting stuff to investigate:
- tracking the physical response to anxiety; biorhythyms
- tracking anxiety/creativity over time
- elizabeth gilbert-TED talk-->the muse, clearing a space for your creative genie...if your half shows up, eventually the genie will come...
- creative habit--decrease anxiety?
- parallels with sports therapy...training to click into a mode (like tossing a ball a certain amount of times to get "in the zone")....ritual
- how has anxiety changed over time?
- can your mind be tricked...training wheels? adrenaline playing a role.
Then I talked about the scenario where people transform anxiety/lack of confidence into creative empowerment while Painting Pottery. I got some interesting feedback on this topic as well:
- highly related to a lack of confidence. perhaps the goal is to "engage your doubter..."
- empowerment comes from letting go of control...
- worrying through it, groan zone
- research recreational drugs in creativity
- EST transformational groups
A lot to think about, moving forward.
