What are we up to?

This was so great.

I often wondered why i always felt my brain in this constant dichotomy. I can "get things done" but im never happy about having them done and there's always more and its a never ending habit - essentially I feel myself in a constant state of "stay in left brain (aka survival) no matter what happens" space. 

I reflect back on being a child, i remember feeling like i was "on my own" even at 8 and surrounded by family. I am a VERY right brained creative by nature but I "trained" myself to be left brained in order to survive how I knew best. The result, a conflicted brain and thus a conflicted child artist and now a conflicted adult artist.

This video inspires me to revisit that right brain and that 8 year old and do whatever work I need to do in order to let them both know that everything is ok and safe now. Its safe to "go there" into that right brained "La La Land" realm that this woman speaks of. This may be hard, it may be quick but it must be done.

Thanks, Ash!  Yes, it is why i chose Wisdom and now Partnership. To discover and create a the world as a safe place to be who I am and for others to be who they really are.

2 excellent  books for conflicted/blocked artists are:

The artists way and the Vien of gold both by Julia Cameron. Can even do them in groups.
