When life is lifeing
This past Monday Rob fell at work and got injured. This has shifted my studio schedule and responsibilities. Prior to this I've been on quite a roll productivity wise. What's helping me now is to allow my energy to dictate my schedule. If I am tired from a change in circumstance I don't pressure myself to get work done. If I feel like I want to go in to the studio and I can, I do. If once I get there I'm tired.. I do something easy like squeeze the old paint tubes to get the last of the paint to the top. I like the beautiful simplicity of -asking my energy. I've held elaborate experiments in the past of never planning any part of my day and instead following only the present intuitive direction. I found I got quite a lot done that way. Since then I've had to combine that flow with self directed structure to engage meaningfully with the world and my work. But having closely observed both structure and flow it's handy to be able to oscillate between them as life requires. And this is key: to be kind to myself when a preferred season of energy shifts into another, to trust the bigger rhythms.
