I needed this tonight. Resistance was beating me and I was about to give up. I came to your site for some inspiration and found exactly what I needed to hear. And now, I’m 1000 words down and feeling victorious. Thank you Steven!

“When we panic creatively, a lot of times we don’t even know it.” I love this and totally agree. Some call it OPEN FOCUS… meaning we see with every part of our being (not just our THINKING brain). Meditation can help us dial down the distracting noise in our minds but so can a crisis—the most likely time for even the least mindful of us to get the meaning of “one-pointed.”

Thanks for your perspective and the reminder to cultivate organic creativity…the kind that co-arises with whatever comes up asking for our imperfectly skillful attention.

I just participated in an event called 24 Hour Plays for this very reason: to confront the creativity crisis head on, work through it (in a ridiculously short amount of time), and toss the work in front of a paying audience at the end of the day.

And I’m still alive. Doing that, I realize what seems scary really brings a wonderful payoff. Everything else seems moot in comparison.

It’s fun to tackle that creative panic.

I constantly run across people who think they can read a book or take a class and become an expert in something. In my fighter pilot days – 1980′/F-16 – we repeated procedures over and over again until they became second nature. On the day when the engine did quit in the jet I was flying, the procedures happened automatically and I was able to use my reason to analyze the situation and take the proper action – not figure out what to do with a $25 million glider.

I read an interview with David Allen awhile back, and he talked about “work the problem” — I think about that all the time. Work the problem. Thanks for the post Steven, and safe travels!
