Communicating when upset
We're all so awesome at this, amirite?
Today, write about how you communicate when you’re upset. Do you shut down and shut people out? Do you over-communicate out of anxiety? Something else?
Name it and write into that, but also include the possible (or known) consequences of doing it that way. Maybe when you shut down your partner feels rejected and/or you catastrophize the situation into an anxiety spiral. Maybe when you over-explain you seem less credible and actually talk yourself into being more upset than necessary. Or, maybe you handle it all really wonderfully and communicate perfectly and never hurt anyone’s feelings ever, lol.
Anyway, write into that.
I created a whole-ass support system/course to help people doing creative work end loops of frustration/stagnation and come out of the gate with their shit together, promoting their work in a strategic way, feeling polished, good and safe about being SEEN doing their creative work. It’s called The Seen AF Method, my project to help creatives challenge narratives around creative work and visibility and build a unique-to-your-art strategy to set yourself and your work up for more.
Doors opened this past week and I’ve been having great conversations about it with all kinds of creative people like writers, editors, filmmakers, actors, dancers, chefs, artists and musicians. Learn more about the whole thing here, and/or book a chat with me about it here and we’ll see if it’s a good fit for you.
