\n\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

Dear You:<\/p>\n

I came across this amazing TED talk and just had to share it with you. I love it because it speaks to so many of the things that we love to talk about here: finding courage, recapturing creativity, and embracing\u00a0our “weaknesses.”<\/p>\n

So many of the anxious folks I see in my art therapy office suffer doubly because not only do they feel anxious, but they spend a huge amount of energy trying to hide it (which only makes them feel more anxious.) Does that sound familiar?<\/p>\n

Here’s a story about a man who took an embarrassing and potentially career-ending “flaw” and used it to propel him on an epic creative journey.<\/p>\n

I hope this talk and the images inspire you as much as\u00a0they did me.\u00a0Be sure to scroll down to the end for a juicy creativity challenge!<\/p>\n
