Sometimes I find myself throwing myself into work with a furious vengeance. In the moment I feel highly productive, yet there is, underneath, a certain manic quality to it.
At other times I work serenely, flowing into the task like a duck gliding across a pond. Clearly my mind is working differently in those moments.
I suspect that the working from fury is actually smoke from a different fire. I’m most likely working through something else, and trying to displace some sort of unresolved tension into my creative work.
I have a theory that the times when I work from peace are the times when I have the greatest insights, and do my most inspired work. They are also probably better for my blood pressure. 🙂
If only there are fewer meetings and deadlines lol.
