Not enough people talk about this. Suppressing your creativity is a real health risk.
I heard Brené Brown say something massive. "Unused creativity metastasizes."
Unused creativity turns into grief, rage, judgment, sorrow, and shame. These low-vibrational emotions send signals to your cellular system and immune system (through neuropeptides and other neurotransmitters), and can literally make you sick.
I've been deep into these concepts for years, but ever since I really got it, from a psychological perspective, I became regular with my creative practice. I paint instead of going out. I draw. I play more music. I spend my free time in the studio working on my album.
We're creative beings and just as we find ways to care for our physical health, we must care for our own creative expression. It is critical for our wellbeing.
Personal Branding vs. Professional Branding
LinkedIn "teaches" us we have to be one single thing. That we should ignore parts of our identity to appeal to a target audience. In my opinion, that is pure bullshit. At STELLR, I can tell you, it is BS. A lot of people make a confusion in between Personal Branding and Professional Branding.
We are made to explore our multidimensionality. And anyone who says you have to "pick one thing" is trying to limit you, whether they know it or not.
More to come on multidimensionality.
A Challenge for You
PS: Here's me in the studio, working on my debut music album. If you're into making music at all, hit me up. I'd love to chat.
And please remember... David Solomon, the CEO of Goldman Sachs, is an international DJ with his own label.
If a billion-dollar company CEO can explore and express his creativity, why can't you?
I challenge you.
In what ways are you expressing your creativity?
