Adulting Avoidance (Part 1)

Creative Reflection

Adulting Avoidance

Exercise: You can’t avoid the avalanche of adulthood. Everyone has to grow up sometime. But what you CAN do is make the transition with some goddamn dignity! Fill in the blanks to make a list of what you see as the reddest of red flags raised when people topple from adolescence. Consider it a list’s-worth of advice for not turning into your parents or other fogies that were impaled by these daggers of lameness, seemingly all at once. It might help to consider the things your parents or other adults have done that made you cringe like you just took down a barrel of lemons. 

Why: When we think of symbols, objects such as eagles, broken chains, or bodies of water often pop into mind. But actions can be symbolic, too. Coming up with symbolic actions that might represent a life transition demands a great deal of self-reflection, cultural analysis, and creativity. After all, you need to scrutinize your own experiences and the behavior of larger society and simmer them down to a group of emblematic choices. All while trying to get “Jack & Diane” out of your head! 

Enhances Creative Reflection, which includes finding creativity by looking inside yourself.
