Can An Over Analytical Mind Allow Creativity?

How can an over analytical mind co-exist with the creative genius that resides in all of us?  The two are diametrically opposites.  Having been successful in the world by developing a hard-driven, manipulative, over-analytical mind is not the best preparation for transitioning into a life of creative bliss. Learning how to allow creative expression the space and attention it needs to flourish and grow is like a right handed person learning to  write very naturally left handed.   The mind keeps wanting to revert to the most comfortable easy familiar way of doing things.  And it is ever so skillful in undermining the best intentions and maintain the status quo. 
Watching myself slip back into mind traps each day has been a huge learning experience for me.  I start out the day with the best intentions of allowing my Creative Genius take the lead.  I journal and have a great conversation with this beautiful promise of myself.  I have just get her.  I know she has been waiting all my life for me to recognize and honor her into my life.  She is everything I have been wanting, the missing link, and I feel an enormous love for her.  I know all that she promises is possible for me.  I understand and clearly see how I have been pushing her out of my life by taking the wheel and insisting on driving my life.  My intention is set and I am really ready to walk the walk.  I know, I know, let inspiration lead.  Stand back, allow, allow, allow.  I am in the present moment, available, attentive, and pumped with freed up energy.  A perfect environment for creative expression to blossom and grow.  But therein lies the paradox for a beginner like me.  Although space and freed up energy is the recipe for growing a creative life, it is also an invitation for the workaholic mind to come up with new ways to make things happen.  Knowing that the old way of pursuing life's goals with the attitude of "making things happen" no longer works, I’m often stuck in the void.  But isn’t the void a perfect canvas for a beautiful creative expression?
