A letter from my creative mind to yours
Dear creative mind,
I wonder if you know how magical your creative mind truly is.
Your imagination and sensitivity bring something vital to the world: contrast, depth, texture, and colour. You transform the invisible into the visible, make sense of the ambiguous, give shape to the chaos, and turn pain into beauty. Your creativity is a powerful force.
But I also know how easy it is to spend as much time battling self-limiting beliefs as we do making art.
As a fellow creative, I understand the tension between the healing power of creativity and the anxiety it can stir up. I’ve faced the distractions, doubts, and obstacles that take me off course. And I’ve learned that the key isn’t fighting against our creative mind; it’s working with it.
Your creative mind is not something to tame. What you might be resisting is what makes you uniquely creative: your vivid imagination, sensitivity, and ability to think unconventionally. You don’t need to suppress these qualities to fit into a box. You only need to understand them better, and sometimes, all it takes is a small shift in perspective.
You are also not here to blend in. You are an artist, meant to transform, to transmute, to welcome contradiction as part of your metamorphosis. You are both creator and creation, entwined with change itself. Your role is not to provide the answers, but to explore the questions, to challenge what is, and re-imagine what could be.
If you ever feel stuck, remember: the creative process is messy—and that’s perfectly okay. It’s not meant to be linear. What matters is learning to navigate it with resilience, embracing the contradictions and dualities, because it’s within the “both/and” that creativity truly thrives. I’d be honored to guide you on this path of self-(re)discovery.
With gratitude,
Pascale
P.S. You are the architect of a new world, and your creativity holds the keys to reimagining reality. What might you create if you were freed from the stories that have held you back? I can't wait to find out.
