Anxiety & Creativity: What's the Link and what does it mean for creatives?

The neuroscientist and author Joseph LeDoux has called anxiety “the price we pay for an ability to imagine the future.”

Anxiety is not your typical worry or fear that crosses your mind. Anxiety is… overwhelming. It can completely control of your brain, and if you're a creative who counts on your imagination, that can really suck.

In this episode, we’ll be drinking CBD Gin & Tonic and talking about anxiety- whether creatives tend to be more anxious and why, which effects anxiety has on creativity, positive or negative, and how to both use your creativity to lessen anxiety and funnel your anxiety into positive things for your creativity, whether you’re an artist, a creative, a writer, a creative entrepreneur.
