Feeling Disconnected? Asking for Help Can Reignite Your Creativity (BKI 58)

Hi, this is Diana. Bright Knowledge Instance give you one thing you can do today to move your creativity ahead. When I think about creativity, what is it ultimately? In many ways, it's about making connections. Connections with your music, connections with others, connections back to yourself. And yet a lot of people feel disconnection and they feel loneliness. And this can be devastating to our creativity. It can stop us from wanting to actually create at all.

One of the best ways to connect genuinely with people is to reach out for help and to say, I'm struggling with this certain thing. You're not asking them to fix it, but you're sharing. You're saying, this is where I'm at. I'm finding this thing difficult. And this gives others the opportunity to not feel alone and perhaps to also help as well. Many types of connection can get established through this asking for help.

We're humans, we're social creatures. We need each other. And yet, in this day and age, people can be more disconnected than ever. They can actually live lives where they don't talk to others for days on end and talk genuinely with others for years on end. So today, reach out for help to somebody. Just say, hey, I'd like you to hear what I have to say. And this help does not have to be a solution.

You don't have to expect them to fix it just by being heard. That is the help. When you get the chance to feel not alone, that is healing. Great. If there can be a solution as well, but not necessary. Let's start with the hearing. So do this today in whatever small way, reach out and ask for help. Show that you need other people and that they matter. Give them a chance to show how much you matter to them as well.
