PEOPLE ASSOCIATE CREATIVE WORKS WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND A FEAR THAT THEIR WORK WON’T BE GOOD

ENOUGH, OR NOT AS GOOD AS THEIR PAST

WORK.

and this anxiety?

The ancient Greeks & Romans believed an artist had a spirit that helped their work – called a

daemon or a ‘genius’

Page 11: (MBASkills.IN) Your Elusive Creative Genius

Daemon or ‘genius’ insulated the artist from criticism and

narcissism

Page 12: (MBASkills.IN) Your Elusive Creative Genius

The work was not theirs and they could not take all the credit or blame

Page 13: (MBASkills.IN) Your Elusive Creative Genius

Changed the paradigm

HOWEVER, BOTH

MUST COME TOGETHER TO

CREATE A POEM

Essentially, feel free from anxiety, performance pressure

Page 24: (MBASkills.IN) Your Elusive Creative Genius

Tell your daemon, anxiety, fear to..

“I am doing everything I can. If you want better work, turn up to do your own bit.”
