This can be overwhelming; therefore, you must understand and interpret your creative intuition and feelings to channel them into creativity and art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Cameron, <strong><em>anger<\/em><\/strong><strong> is the most common emotional experience that you must interpret and channel.<\/strong> She explains that anger indicates your likes, dislikes, and desires and signifies that you must take action. For example, let\u2019s say you\u2019re angry that your roommate moved your in-progress painting onto the floor so she could use your desk. Your anger is telling you that you need to speak up about your boundaries\u2014tell your roommate not to touch your things without asking you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/awaken-the-giant-within\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Awaken the Giant Within<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em>Tony Robbins reiterates the importance of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/self-awareness-is-like-an-onion\/\">understanding your emotions<\/a>, especially negative ones\u2014because, like Cameron, <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/awaken-the-giant-within\/chapter-8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">he believes they\u2019re \u201caction signals.\u201d<\/a> However, while Cameron mainly focuses on anger, Robbins claims that anger is only one of <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/awaken-the-giant-within\/chapter-8#understand-your-negative-emotions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10 common negative emotions you should learn to interpret<\/a>. The rest are discomfort, fear, hurt, frustration, disappointment, guilt, inadequacy, overwhelm, and loneliness.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cameron adds that, <strong>as you get closer to your inner artist and your creative intuition strengthens, experiences of <\/strong><strong><em>synchronicity<\/em><\/strong><strong> will begin to occur more frequently<\/strong>. Synchronicity is an instance where things seem to fall perfectly into place, external factors align in your favor, or meaningful patterns emerge. Cameron believes that these experiences are a form of divine intervention\u2014some higher force is providing you with opportunities and hints that will progress you toward your artistic destiny. For example, perhaps you\u2019ve been wanting to start dancing and end up meeting a dance instructor at the shop. Or you keep hearing about and seeing copies of a certain book about sculpting\u2014maybe you\u2019re meant to read it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When these instances happen, Cameron says you must take advantage of them and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/trust-your-intuition-trust-your-instincts-trust-your-gut\/\">trust your intuition<\/a>. Many people convince themselves that synchronicities are coincidences, or that they\u2019re unworthy of taking advantage of these synchronicities (they\u2019ll fail or let themselves down in some way). Fight this urge, trust your intuition, follow the path that\u2019s being opened for you, and Cameron says that you\u2019ll end up exactly where you need to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-road-less-traveled\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The Road Less Traveled<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em>M. Scott Peck echoes Cameron\u2019s emphasis on the importance of <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-road-less-traveled\/part-4-2#evidence-2-synchronicity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recognizing and accepting synchronicity and serendipity.<\/a> He adds that if you <em>fail<\/em> to do so, you risk facing serious consequences. For example, Peck notes that rejecting \u201cGod\u2019s gifts\u201d (including synchronicity) <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-road-less-traveled\/part-4-2#consequences-of-rejecting-grace\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">can lead to negative mental effects like neurosis.)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How strong is your creative intuition?
