Report from day 1 no reading. This sucks. I knew I read a lot but I am currently confronted with the realization that... All I do is read? When I think of creating it's just that, a thin thought while reading something else that disappears like water vapor as quickly as it arises.
I'm listening to a lot of music without lyrics because that seems in the spirit of the exercise. No tv, no talk radio or audio books. No reading and no social media. I chafe, I am uncomfortable. And now I shall complain.
How dare The Artist's Way so succinctly point out why my creativity hasn't been flowing? How dare Julia Cameron just so casually suggest that I have no hobbies that don't position me as a passive consumer? Yes it's personal now, bitch.
This is way worse than giving up coffee and sweets for Lent and I already have failed at that 😭
But like all things this too shall pass. Only 6 more days of this segment of the artists way. I will recommit myself to my Lentian fast once the move is finished next week.
Personal growth is never comfortable and I am committed to becoming a better person. Constantly staying on that grind helps me feel confident that I'm living up to my potential. It's ok to fail. It would be a terrible thing to not even try. All I want is to know that I've tried my absolute best. I don't care how cringey it might seem.
