Creativity

I've been thinking about creativity lots lately. That's not really unusual - I think about creativity most of the time that I sit down to write on this blog. Blame the Creativity Challenge sponsored by the MTMarketplace and Briana Reichgott Priester, if you want, but that challenge just made me approach things a bit differently. It is interesting to actively engage in thinking about creativity and its many forms. It was also nice to be in a community of therapists who were all approaching the creative process. My verdict? We are all creative, but in vastly different ways.

Those differences are what make us valuable to each other and to this profession.

I sometimes get bogged down in my "Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda" goblins. "I should be creative in this way." "If I would only get this, then I could be creative like ____." The goblins take over my brain. What I am learning (over and over and over again) is that what I can create is valuable, but I do NOT have to be everything for everyone all of the time. I will never be the same as other music therapists out there, and that is OKAY! 

I am who I am, uniquely and utterly me. Creative being. Music Therapist!
