Thinking about time a lot lately.
All kinds of WHYning –
Bec a wrench threw my timeline off a few years back and I didn’t even know I cared about time til it was wrenched?
Bec I have 5 minutes to decide if I want babies or not?
Bec I should be creating but I answer business emails instead?
Solution to time-obsessing:
Paint more, flesh out the urgent something that hasn’t taken shape or form yet in my work.
It’s so strong, it’s actually killing me sometimes. And there’s good ol’ resistance, even when I have a new book coming out in Fall.
Accomplishments don’t chase away resistance. But I recognize that resistance comes before any leap you’re about to make/need to take.
There’s prob something you’re supposed to be doing, too, but you fill up your time doing distracting, menial, ‘busy’ tasks –
soul-crushing instead of goal-crushing. You have time. I have time. Time to leap.
Just have to prioritize, carve out hours … and just do it! ❤️
