A Tricky Dance on a Slippery Slope | Episode 20

June 2, 2017 By brainfuzzadmin Leave a Comment

Coping with anxiety in the creative life - a bear suit, alone, on a park bench.
Don’t ask: This image kept coming up for searches on “high anxiety.” Maybe it’s Mel Brooks in the bear suit.

Back at Joe’s studio, Matthew is armed with a copy of Eric Maisel’s Mastering Creative Anxiety. The two explore coping (or not coping) with anxiety in the creative life. Another source of solace – Letters To A Young Artist – is also called upon.

New theme music is introduced. Goal posts are shifted. It’s Matthew’s turn to offer an audio pick of the day, and the conversation steers back into . . .  you guessed it: creative anxiety.
