Being Okay With Lulls

What?  I started a blog?  Oh yeah...  I forgot.



Actually, I didn't forget so much as lose the creative energy high I had for about a month, along with my desire to blog.  Which caused me to remember something very important when talking about creative processes:

Being okay with lulls.


Lulls are part of a creative life and must be accepted with as much love as the bursts of energy and inspiration that lead to creation. 


During my lulls, I may quit blogging entirely.  Actually, count on it.


I think accepting the lulls and being peaceful about them is as important as the creations themselves.  But you have to be peaceful about them, or they'll breed anxiety.


You have to trust that your previous burst will lead to the next, as it always does.  Creativity is progressive: Always moving, breathing, changing.  Don't forget.

 

However, as you can see from my writing this post, I have reclaimed my creative energy with a vengeance the past month and have been busy!  I can't wait to share my thoughts and projects with you, and I will!




That is, until the next lull :)
