I write a newsletter to help you stay on it https://jim-kroft.short.gy/0925A/Jim-Kroft-newsletter___________________Welcome back to The Creative Life Podcast.This week I’m sharing the story behind a three-month stretch of deep creative resistance — a period where I thought I was breaking down, only to realise something far more important was breaking out of me.It’s a personal episode, but a hopeful one. Because what came out of this resistance has given me the clearest sense of direction I’ve had in years.If you’re a creative who feels dispersed, off-centre, or unable to return to your core work, I think there will be lots of good stuff in here for you. Why resistance hits hardest when you’ve drifted too far from your centre How one raw moment at the piano was a gateway back to my own musical heart How to recognise misalignment before it becomes a full creative stall (especially when dispersed)✂️ Why radical subtraction can help you get back to the core How to rebuild momentum when you’ve lost the thread of a projectThanks guys - rating and reviewing (or even better sharing!) so appreciated!JimAll music in this episode is my own — stream it on Spotify.
