Story of My Life: Screw Calm and Get Creative

I was having a lesson the other day and my student was telling me how after being wrongfullyfined for not having a train ticket, she got really angry and frustrated. To occupy her thoughts, while still being stuckon the train, she started working. As you can imagine, the task was pretty hard. 

 




Surprisingly, though, she came up with plenty of ideas to use in her work as a coach. Not only did she overcomeher frustration but she also turned this unfortunate event into a personal triumph.



That brings us to the conclusion that one – providedyou try hard enough, you can turn a bad experience into a good one and two – in order to be creative you need this extra push. You need to be a little anxious, frustrated and on edgeto come up with fresh ideas. You can't be contentwith where you are in life at that very moment because that doesn't stimulate your brain enough and your ideas may turn out bland and uninspiring.




When you have turned all your anger and negative emotions into productivity and got the solutions you were looking for, you may sit back and have a cookie because you have just won a big battle ;).
