Habits and routines have been on my mind a lot the last couple weeks.
The patterns of them,
how they are created,
how they are broken.
Last year I hoped to document a little piece of creativity each day (here).
It didn't happen.
I have routines and habits but struggle with daily practices.
I get distracted easily (although curiosity is rarely a bad thing).
I've realized that a large part of where I put my creative energy isn't documented here...that thing called "work."
I get tired and in that tiredness, quiet.
And sometimes discouraged:
(A tangle I need to undo.)
This year I'll still try to find a moment in each day to be creative
but let go of expectations.
And try to find ways to release more of my story...
It's in the sharing of story that connections are formed.
Release: to cease to hold or contain, to remove the obligation of, that which is untied or let go.
