You are working too hard as an artist! It can be easier, really.

I'm not saying you should not be doing all that you are doing- but what if it wasn't such a big struggle?

Maybe it is because we grew up in a culture with a powerful work ethic- we need to feel the effort, the struggle, the angst, in order to value the work.

You can actually get just as much done with pleasure and ease, maybe even more.

​In this video I describe a metaphor that helped me understand that it is possible to not work so hard. It has everything to do with internal friction, getting in your own way. I would love to hear your thoughts on it! Please comment!
