Here’s the polished blog post, with all the workbook information gathered at the end — so it reads like a journey into self-permission, then offers the workbook as a natural next step. --- ## ✴ Blog Post: **How to Want Like a Creative Again** **Ask a creative person what they want, and you’ll often get a pause.** Not because they don’t care. Because they care too much. They’ve got tabs open in their mind — each one a portal to a possible life. One moment they want to start a podcast. The next they’re dreaming about running a residency in a lighthouse. Then comes a freelance gig they said yes to out of guilt, not joy. Somewhere in all this noise, the original signal — what they *truly* want — gets drowned out. --- ## Why Creative People Struggle to Want Clearly It’s not indecision. It’s perception. Creative people see more. More connections. More potential paths. More versions of who they could become. But if you don’t know which desire is *yours* — not your parents’, not society’s, not Instagram’s — you get stuck at the crossroads. Every idea becomes a maybe. Every yes feels like a partial no. And then you start to say things like: - “I just want to make something that matters.” - “I want to be more consistent.” - “I want clarity.” All valid. But also vague. Vague wants don’t move you. They leave you spinning. --- ## Wanting is Not Selfish. It’s Creative Fuel. Wanting isn’t about being needy. It’s about being directional. To want clearly is to say: - “This is where I feel alive.” - “This is what I want to make space for.” - “This is the project, the rhythm, the version of me that feels most true.” Clarity isn’t a lightning bolt. It’s a practice. A return to your own instincts. And it starts with giving yourself permission. --- ## Start Here: Everything Is Already Okay The Make Happen Method begins with something radical: **Everything is already okay.** You’re not behind. You’re not broken. You’re just ready to want more *honestly*. Not in the abstract. But in real, awkward, specific ways. --- ## Want Help Getting There? We made a workbook. Not a guide full of instructions. But a mirror. A provocation. A conversation with the part of you that still knows what it wants. ### 🌀 *What Do You Want?* — A Workbook for Creative Clarity Inside, you’ll find: - Reflections on the *obvious*, the *leftfield*, and the *unspoken* desires - Prompts that map your actual week — and how aligned it is with what lights you up - A space to explore the *provenance of your wants* — where they come from, and whether you want to keep them - Permission to name your *guilty pleasures* without guilt - A brilliant final prompt on “allowing polarity” — letting two seemingly opposing wants sit side by side It’s playful. It’s subversive. And it might just pull your muchness back into the light. --- **Download the workbook. Start the dialogue.** Wanting is not a flaw. It’s how creative people find their way. --- Let me know if you'd like a visual preview of the workbook pages or a downloadable version of this post formatted as a lead magnet or email.
