Adopting A Warrior Mindset To Optimise Creativity

Drawing from learnings from ‘The War of Art’ , recommended to me by a good friend.

Start here.

I urge you for just a moment, to give yourself the liberty to visualize decanting your existence — physical, internal. Insert it into a mould of a warrior of your choice.

1. Acquaint yourself with Resistance

Who are we against?

2. Get on with it

Consider the A in Art as ‘Action’ instead.

3. Understand that Professionalism and Amateurism are merely constructs

Take yourself seriously, or nobody else will.

4. Think latitude, not longitude

Pressfield speaks of territory and hierarchy in terms of how we choose to do the work.

5. Umpire the battle between Self vs Ego

According to Pressman, ‘Angels’ or muses make their home in the self. Resistance has its seat in the Ego.
