One small thing.
I always find parallels between my yoga practice and the other things I'm working on in my life. Yesterday, back at Bikram yoga, I was very creaky, slow, and a bit frustrated with how much better I "used to be." (I've been dealing with some chronic pain in my hip and shoulder and haven't figured it out and it's very frustrating to me!)
Anyway, it made me realize--I'm currently working on building an online course about re-connecting to your creativity. One of the things I talk about there is that our creativity "muscles" can atrophy if we don't use them, and it can be daunting to get back into the swim of things. If we are rusty or don't have a routine or if we feel bad about our failings, it's hard to even start.
Yoga has taught me that there is benefit every damn time I get on the mat. Even when I discover my shortcomings. Especially when I discover my shortcomings. Same with our creative efforts. Getting on the creative mat and forgiving ourselves for not being perfect--if we can start with those two things, we can begin to reconnect with our own creative growth. What's one small thing you can do to "touch" your creative energy today?
