Leadership coach Gayle Gregory says, "The source of innovation is a place of fearlessness. It's a place of not worrying and trying to force things to happen." Gregory is the co-author of The Grand Experiment: An Expedition of Self-Discovery.
Recognizing when you actually have fears is the real problem because most people don't recognize why they act the way they do. Even when they do, they don't know how or don't want to deal with those fears. Gayle's methods are all about unleashing your inner creativity by first getting rid of fear.
Below are the strategies to realize your true potential:
1. Be open to admitting what your fears are.
Fear is natural. Everyone fears things: Not being good enough, having enough, knowing enough, capable enough, etc. Don't be overwhelmed! Just take the time to study which ones are directing your life and keeping a lid on what should be your effortless innovation.
2. Engage your fears
Once you've recognized your fears, invite them out in the open and study them carefully. Invite them to sit down next to you and really get to know them. They are your step-children and merely require your interest and curiosity. When you face them and stop avoiding them, you'll find they begin to dissolve. Fear is only powerful when we keep it hidden.
3. Release your potential.
As the layers of fear begin to dissolve, you'll be able to find that place of creativity more and more. Fears are what keep you from reaching that place of clarity, the spring of innovation and flow. A fearless warrior is one who is so committed to reaching that place they won't let fear hold them back. Inspiration doesn't have to be rare. It's meant to be an everyday occurrence.
Try these techniques out and you'll better be able to tap into the source of creativity.
