Hey, Amy
here.
The last few days I've been feeling a lot of resistance to doing things that I need to do, even to do things that I usually love to do.
Sometimes I feel like I just want to curl up in a ball and not do anything, but what I've been really noticing is that I just have to tell myself to just begin and, once I
begin, the rest just becomes easy.
I had a project that I had an idea about a couple of weeks ago, and because of my traveling and then trying to get caught up after having been away, I kept putting it off.
I knew it was
time to take action and stop waiting, and I also know that if I put things off for too long, they get buried because new ideas continue to come in.
So I started to outline the steps I needed to take, and then yesterday I just put one foot in front of the other and things started to be created. And I'm actually really happy with the outcome so far, and it's
been fun.
The hardest part was starting. Once I started it became fun and easy and I've been super productive.
I also notice that the creative process really helps me with my stress.
Once I start creating from my heart, I find it moves me into a much better place... a much happier place. So not only am I able to get my project done, but it ends up being like therapy at the same time.
It doesn't feel like work to me at all when I'm being creative.
I love the work that I do, so it is like therapy when I immerse myself in the creative process. I love that.
