A big part of succeeding in any craft is just showing up. Most practice sessions are "sub-optimal." You don't often feel pure electric joy coursing through you. The foundation that makes that feeling possible is built by a million small, unsexy moments where you decide to show up. This reflective moment from this week's writing process touches on that.

If you're overstimulated, consider using boredom to your advantage. It's the most reliable way to de-stimulate your mind, get back in touch with yourself, and rediscover your creativity. If there's even a small part of you begging to come out and express itself (like creative potential, a dream, a mission, etc.) you will not be able to access it if you're stuck in a cheap dopamine spiral. Boredom/silence/rest is the way back to yourself. It's not easy, but it's straightforward. Give yourself time and patience. I'm right here with you. I hope this is helpful. https://stan.store/joshczuba
