Anything to do with budgets and balance sheet tends to summon dread in creative people, being something they would rather avoid doing. The administrative tediousness of tallying up how much you made and how much you spend isn't a very thrilling thing to do and you might rather go and do something creative instead. Yet financial chaos can actually paralyze your creativity.
Think about dreams being diluted because you are spreading pennies too thin because you don't know you actually could invest more money to make these dreams a reality, projects stalled because you don't know whether you can afford it because you have no idea about your taxes, a different career put on hold because you don't know if you can afford to take such a risk,...
So ask yourself what inspired vision you are now putting on hold because of a lack of financial planning? You don't do yourself a service to not put in the diligent work to get your finances organized, as you are mortgaging tomorrow's potential by the distractions you allow yourself today.
For creative souls with allergic reactions to accounting, number-crunching ranks low on the priority list. But getting your financial house in order will actually clear the space for you to take to more inspired actions in your life. So go and tame that money monster by coming up with a throughtful financial strategy that is based in reality, as this will free up the energy you now expend avoiding it.
Pracitce fiscal and financial mindfulness and see it as a way for you to support your liberation as a creative being. With your finances clarified to yourself, you will be able to courageously go after your goals, and your creative spirit will be able to find wings again unclipped by mundane burdens. Liberate yourself from needless monetary stress and playfully re-invest it into your own soul, into gems that are hidden in plain sight for those who have the eyes to envision a kind of fortune of the non-fiscal kind.
