Boundless Creativity Workbook

Faced with unprecedented challenges, now is a great time to escape
into creativity and reconnect with your inner self

Boundless Creativity: A Spiritual Workbook for Overcoming Self-Doubt, Emotional Traps and Other Creative Blocks takes you on a deep dive into the adventures and universal heartaches toward transformation through living a creative life.

Creativity engages our imagination. Turning new and imaginative ideas into reality opens us up to thinking differently. It frees us from the constraints of everyday life. Creativity allows us to access a part of ourselves that is not ruled by time, pressures, or conditions. It’s no wonder many of us long for more of it in our lives. When creative energy flows through us, it connects us to our deepest selves and even the world around us.

Self-Doubt

If you’ve ever embarked on a creative project, you may have experienced moments of pure joy. Some may even call the experience a sense of higher consciousness. In other words, creativity seems to pour from you. On the other hand, it’s also likely you’ve encountered moments of feeling stuck or blocked. Or, full of fear and self-doubt. When you just don’t see the point, you’re tempted to give up.

The truth is, emotions have a way of powerfully disrupting our creative flow and dismantling our inspiration. However, by examining how emotions affect creativity we can learn to unblock channels of inspiration. An understanding of how entangled we become in our own negative thoughts and beliefs, we can release and replace them. As a result, we can learn to reach our true creative potential.

A Spiritual Guide

Boundless Creativity: A Spiritual Workbook for Overcoming Self-Doubt, Emotional Traps and Other Creative Blocks begins at the intersection of creativity and spiritual wellbeing. Obstacles and challenges are emotional lessons created specifically for each individual person. The spiritual purpose of creating is to challenge you to express yourself with no doubt or fear. We all ache to be seen and heard for our true selves. Boundless Creativity is your journal guide toward creative expression and achieving inner confidence and inner peace.

“Spiritual” relates to the inner you. One way to celebrate and nurture your spirit is through creativity. When spirit and creativity intertwine, they become one. Creativity turns spirit into an artistic work and sensory reality.

Praise for Boundless Creativity

“Boundless Creativity demystifies and normalizes the highs-and-lows of the creative lifecycle. Through a transformational program that Alderson compares to alchemy—“… a ritual of subjecting base metals (the imperfect individual) to scorching fire (challenges and change), burning off the dross (burdens and flaws) and transforming into gold (the fully realized individual)”—she guides us to identify and defang the demons that suck us into that familiar tar pit of self-doubt and creative paralysis. No matter your medium—driftwood, paints, musical notes, flour/flowers, words—Boundless Creativity will lead you back to your belief in the miraculous. Back to your belief in yourself.”—Elaine Taylor, founder of the nonprofit The Grief Relief Project, for people poleaxed by loss; and the author of Karma, Deception and a Pair of Red Ferraris

If you want to successfully navigate the highs and lows of living a creative life, you’ll want this book as an essential companion.”—Laura Davis, author of The Courage to Heal, I Thought We’d Never Speak Again, and Wholehearted; founder of The Writer’s Journey workshops
