I have been previously working on a fresh creative project. A lot of energy and enthusiasm being spent. A great deal of productive time making something totally new. Bouncing my ideas from others within a coaching group. But each time I set about a fresh journey of making, I find myself becoming angry.

How does this happen? What exactly is this anger about? The proceedings?

My mentor and i also were discussing this. She wondered aloud this thought: “It appears like the tender spots are your location angry”… yeah. Very tender. The anger is telling me something.

Discovering that it is hard to hold a project choosing anger all around, I needed to find a way to function “through” or “around” the anger. So, I distract myself with painting, stories, dancing… something creative, but more mundane and a bit mindless. This creative energy releases my thoughts so that I will “trick” my anger into thinking I will be busy to things.

While i do that I refer to it “spinning”. Spinning jogs my memory with the stories from the spinning wheel where I’m able to outside, hurry up creating (such as the wool about the wheel). This opens the door to metaphor and takes me faraway from my have to “control” a task.

After i began drawing this picture… of your spinning wheel… I was thinking of “turning straw to gold”. I used to be reminded again with the story of Rumpelstilskin. You know, usually the one… the millers daughter, the dad says “she can spin straw into gold” for the king… along with the king wants to understand this… of course, if she cannot, she’s going to be placed to death… ? Then, an odd little man appears. He tells her he is able to spin straw into gold… but it will show up at an amount to her.

I found the story and read several versions of it. It resonated with me. However, while i usually do, I attempted to logically “organize” the storyline. This caused me to get more frustrated, because i was not seeing or feeling what this story was trying to inform me.

I really returned to my “dream capture” work. Someone said the tale like it were a goal I had created had. Then, I did so the next:

Listed out all the characters
Listed your “key words” from the story that resonated with me
Re-read each word and wrote what that word meat if you ask me inside my current situation

And then… I began to get noticable just what the story was saying. Can do for you I stumbled upon

The little man (Rumplestilskin)=anger/creative fire/naming
The miller’s daughter=rest/creativity/giving
The king=accountability
Spnning wheel=creating/spinning/asking for help
The baby=creation (project, artwork… )

While these “characters” posseses an independent role, Each of the characters create one “psyche” personally. Most of us have of the qualities within us.

In order to create something, it requires much energy… and a lot rest is additionally needed. We’ve got to give of ourselves and ask for help.

Eventually, a baby comes into the world and we will not stop. It really is our “creation” and we’re impressed by what we made. Also, what must be done to get there.

What did I learn?

Until this story resonates with me. Also, this story will repeat itself over and over when i still create, rest, people for assistance and finish a task. Even though Rumpelstilskin stomps himself into the ground at the end of the storyline, that little man will be back… and next time, I am going to know his name.
