Appreciating these posts, Lily. Love the notion of "compassionate discipline" as it cuts through all the mental clutter which can block creativity. What's been coming up for me a lot lately, especially in the anxiety around producing, is the concept of play! What parameters do I need to create for myself in order to engage my work or "the work" with joy and pleasure? It really starts with releasing images and expectations for how that--work, the creative process, the product, a given task--"should" look. Connecting with the inner child on all this is where the wisdom lies buried, I think. What flexibility does it require to accommodate the needs of this child, who we can bring to our "work" (whatever it is) everyday, and who enjoys a good focused effort toward a goal as much as he likes to get outside for a walk without a care in the world! Thank you!
Funny how play sometimes needs RULES?! Thanks for sharing Rob, hoping that as we continue to move through Saturn in Pisces you can feel supporting in creating the container needed for you to create and play!
