Inspiration can be a scarce resource at different points in our lives. For me it can be synonymous with energy; a sudden excitement to get going! It’s in these moments that I’m at my most optimistic. Suddenly I have all this energy to get stuck into that script I’m writing. With my new found overflowing cup, there’s the illusion that I have infinite time and that this feeling will last.
‘Great!’ I think. ‘You know what will make my experience of getting that important task done EVEN better, if I sorted all the files on my computer desk top by topic and year. Oh I should also get the washing on…”
Is this a familiar dance for you? It is for me, but one I’ve only just noticed properly.
I end up expending all my inspired energy on things that aren’t critical.
Yes it’s nice (and important!) having a tidy environment, but if it’s at the expense of whats actually important to me, I’m going to give it a miss. Big creative strides might sometimes require a little unbalance in life.
The moment the magic energy burst strikes- use it wisely.
