Cultivating a Creative Practice
Since I began my daily meditation + painting practice, I’ve had these post-its around me.
To lessen the pressure of “doing things right,” perfectionism, and immediately think about making things into sellable products, it helped to focus on CURIOSITY.
What happens if I do this?
What if I show up every morning and do this?
How can I engage in PLAY with my creativity again?
WHAT is my creativity right now?
It’s clear my creative endeavors rarely stay stagnant. Likely the reason why I love working in Innovation — I never get bored!
But my goal right now isn’t to hustle and chase the unachievable. My goal right now is to create a sustainable, long-lasting life….
i’m creating my own ecoSYSTEM
One with less hustle.
One with less dehumanizing.
One that embraces natural rhythms of inspiration, rest, incubation, creation, research, down time, space for mental rollercoasters, exploration, gardening, doing things just because, and joy-filled days.
I believe it’s possible.
I believe I can design that for myself.
I’m creating a system….
What does a SUSTAINABLE life look like for me?
I’m speaking less about eco-consciousness but rather about having a long-lasting, enduring, resilient system, way of living, way of being that continuously breathes and grows with me.
What are the BIG players for my ecosystem?…..
