“I aim to reframe discipline as self-love, something that you give to yourself because you desire to prioritize something that is important to you, whether that is creative practice or having more time to do the hobbies that you love, or to spend more time with loved ones, or to treat your body really well because you really value your body. The other is to reframe discipline as devotion. What does it mean to be devoted to your creative practice? That completely changes the energetic frequency of whatever activity it is that you’re doing. When you replace discipline with devotion, it becomes an ongoing journey, a curiosity, a relationship. The other thing that really helps me in reframing discipline as it pertains to creative practice is that ultimately it’s about deepening your relationship to yourself, as well as your creative practice, as well as the art that you are generating. So when I think of discipline as a relational model, then it’s not so much, “How can I work harder?” The question then becomes, “How can I connect more deeply with myself? How can I connect more deeply with my creative practice? How can I show up better in this relationship that is important to me?””
