When The Comfort Zone Itches ….. What to do with the ho hums.
It’s been a week, of course when isn’t it sometimes? I have been in my studio where I spend probably 4 to 5 hours a day working on new work. This week has been a roller coaster of ups and downs. First I love it, then I don’t love it, then I re work it, then I wreck it and on and on and on.
I’m back in the liking it stage which is good because the other other ones are frazzling me. Now I can sit back for a minute and coast. I am working in a new direction so the tendency to fall back on comfortable is really strong. I have to remember to tell myself to go away from that for now.
My way of changing things is to watch movies I would never watch. Read a book I would never read and look at blogs I wouldn’t normally be attracted to. We all get stuck in ruts. When I see the pattern coming on it’s usually accompanied by a feeling of agitation and restlessness, like things aren’t moving quickly enough. RUT ahead. Whoa.
This time I slowed down for a change and enjoyed what was going on today, now. It’s amazing how quickly the frustration ebbs away and I can feel the breeze again. Somehow the clouds look lovely and the moment isn’t sucked up by trying to get to some place at some point in time.

It best not to force as you as well aware of. I find taking a breather, doing nothing or doing something different until the stuckness recedes.
breathe breath breath ... I'm with you on that Layla
