What keeps you from being creative in your life?

I believe it is the fear of failing that blocks most peoples creative side. The fear of being made a fool of, or being laughed at stops people from just going for it and doing something they want and believe in. Some people can cope with these emotions better than others and simply dont give up, no matter what anyone says. Unfortunately not everyone is like that and alot of fantastic talent is lost. It has alot to do with the world we live in and the people around us , in my humble opinion. Have a fruitful day. :)

Its quite true that stress and problems might hinder ones ability to be creative mainly coz our brain tends to get bogged down with thoughts abt the problem just like a computer memory getting filled up with viruses and spyware... and slowing down the computer. But what we don't realize is that being creative and doing what you like would actually help to overcome stress and makes us feel gud at the end of the day. So when stressed , spent some quality creative time with your favorite hobby and you'll find yourself getting a peaceful sleep.

I and like to draw, paint, make photomanipulations, make my own cards, make decoupage pictures, make papercuts and lots of other things. In some periods of my life I am really creative and I can paint or draw for hours, because I tend to forget everything around me once I get started. But sometimes I get depressions and in those periods I lose my interest in creative activities like painting and drawing. I can't concentrate, and I don't have the energy to work on my projects.

i love drawing. it is my hobby and what i enjoy doing but for me its just life thsat gets in the way. i have school and when i get home i usually have to clean or something. then there is helping with dinner and homework. also i have a baby niece that i am always taking care of. these everyday things cause me to have no time for my art but im hoping i can get some pictures done this summer...except the fact that i am in desperate need of a job lol so even though i love art it just cant come first.

I love to paint, mosaic and just generally make "junk" look pretty. I find that when I am stressed out about either work or something else in life that I just don't create. When I'm not stressed, I am constantly creating something. I have a friend that when stressed makes the most beautiful artwork. I just can't seem to harness the negative emotions enough to be creative with them.
