The power of influence and misuse of creative energy.

You know how some days you just don’t have the energy to get going? The day lags and everything around you is seemingly more unpleasant than the last? That’s called a rut, a mood, or just a bad day most people say. In reality is it just that you’ve lost some passion for your own reality? Is it the dimming light of how things are really setting in?

Being creative isn’t always easy. Especially if you consider yourself as an artistic person. There’s gonna be days where this dimming light hits you and reality sets in where maybe you’re just not good enough. The ideas you come up with are far too often created. That feeling creates a creative rut. It also makes you feel less than in your emotional and creative energy. Restoring that can be difficult. So I’m here to help you, find a path back to your own creative expression.

Now a days there’s a lot of media everyone consumes. A lot of people consume the same media. Depending on your personality and psychological traits social media and most media platforms use this against you. It’s an algorithm created to show you everything you like. It’s created to make you consume. It’s one of the worst things psychologically for anyone trying to be an individual, because it connects you to millions of different people similar to you. It helps you get inspiration for the things you want in your life. I like to call this a hive mind. It’s a group of people with similar thoughts and ideas get connected and are all shown similar stuff and have similar projected views of reality. Why am I explaining this? Because it works against your creative individualism.

If you’re spiritual a lot of your work is gonna be within the realm of light and shadow. You’ll see it everywhere. If you’re an existentialist you’re gonna see a whole lot of everything is nothing and meaningless. If you’re a 90s new age kids your gonna see pink and see through television pictures everywhere. Having these similar pictures and gaining inspiration on a day to day life is horrible for your creative side. A lot of the time when we think of creativity we think we come up with stuff on our own. Actually we do get inspired. It’s a psychological trick.

In art a lot of artist said no good art is original, good art is stolen. This stuck with me for a long ass time. Good art is stolen. But how? So on my journey to figure this out I went through multiple creative places with a lot of creative agencies, what I learned will not shock you by any means but enlighten you. Creative people are fucking lazy. They see your idea if you say it and they will literally steal it in a matter of seconds and make it their own. Creative people are eccentric and gregarious in a way that is so total shit it’s disturbing. It’s like a cult and their the leader. So one of my first points is ; DONT TELL PEOPLE SHIT AND DONT LISTEN TO THEIR SHIT AND DONT WATCH THEIR SHIT.

Yup I said it don’t look for inspiration.

Don’t inspire people and don’t let them inspire you.

This kills your creativity.

Whether it’s watching the ole Instagram, listening to music, watching tv, anything. It’s all damaging to who you are. That’s where most your skill and creative expression comes from. If you’re part of a hive mind. You’re gonna see a lot of the same things bc it’s imbedded in you and psychology brainwashing you to be “cool” but one thing that’s the most creative is you and you’re experience. No one can beat that.
