How Fear Paralyzes Your Creativity

by | The Accidental Creative

There’s a hidden dynamic that inhibits your ability to connect dots and do brilliant work. Unfortunately, it’s also misunderstood. Fear can erode your ability to think creatively and to take necessary risks, but not all fear is something to be shunned. Sometimes fear can help us stay alert and make decisions. It can be a signal that you have a healthy respect for your environment and its potential dangers. On this episode, I talk about the two kinds of fear and how to begin to dismantle them and produce your best work.
