Creative Ease

This business of strolling instead of striving is actually working. I'm getting done the things I need to get done. No straining or gearing up or forcing myself. Wow!

I do wonder if the fact that I'm still convalescing and only working part-time is responsible. A screenwriter friend of mine years ago concluded that affirmations were giving her the easy courage to create that she'd always wanted. Then the screenwriters' strike ended and the phone went back to ringing and not-ringing and all her fears cranked up again. The affirmations hadn't been responsible, she concluded; instead it had been the silence and lack of pressure during the period of the strike.

I'm optimistic, though. I think this new ease is going to last. I will see that it does.
