Fear of finding I’ve lost my ability is hindering me. I used to paint without even thinking about it or worrying about outcomes- now I feel if I go back to it, that wonderful engaged feeling will have gone ….
great post - resistance can be a powerful indicator of what is worth overcoming within us to progress and improve upon.
on the flip side, what i think doesn't get enough attention and consideration, is that it's worth an individual figuring out if it is in-fact ok and fine to abandon the project - it may not be right, best or worth it at all, now, or ever. Sometimes we're climbing ladders leaning against the "wrong" wall and it's ok to come back down and never go back again, to find the "right" one.
Hallo! While this is quite literally the first time that I have ever made a comment on something like this to this degree, it is sitting so heavy that I feel I must speak on it. This is a BEAUTIFUL concept to apply with projects (my table/art I walk by daily, my art I intuitively knew I couldn't hang...), but when you have a curious/philosophical, although dripping with rapid sarcasm (annnooooyyying :)), type of a brain like yours truly.... almost every concept is applied in layers throughout my current timeline, just like almost everything said can be taken in a multitude of ways. The problem with THAT, I found, is that a hopeful soul and a big heart can have a tough time discerning the tapestry of the concept just laid out. LUCKILY, AND THANKFULLY, I learned extremely quickly, as in today, that not everything can be executed with this level of logic and ease. While it was an awful outcome- I am no longer distraught from another failed run because well- here is the thing I must now remember moving forward- it was an AWFUL relationship from the start (apply the logical/analytical) side of my brain, and WHY the hell would I keep trying (apply that HEAVY empath side of the brain that picks up everyone else's crap tooo), and SLOW DOWN. This may seem like common sense for you, but I tend to overthink, and overthink fast. All in all, hurt, but moreover Hella grateful. 🙃🥰
Fascinating how we see progress as a tremendous movement of effort on a particular project whereas a tiny step in the right direction can snowball and yield surprising results.
Great article and reminder that it’s okay to take it one step at a time, however small it is!
