Finding balance between focus and flow in your creative practice
Description
In this episode, we explore the link between our desire for freedom and our need for control (hello perfectionism tendencies, I see you!). We identify as freedom seekers, yet a lot of us don’t really feel free on the daily. On the one hand, our attachment to this free-spirited identity can prevent us from creating the helpful structure we need to be able to focus our energy and find flow in our creative practice and business. On the other hand, some of us ironically struggle with letting go of our need to control every detail, may it be in our creative practice, the outcome of our work, and how it’s “supposed” to happen. Freedom and control cannot always coexist when we’re working towards a life, business and creative practice that flows. In this episode, we explore a few solutions to consider, including adding the right amount of (flexible and playful) structure, softening our grip on control, and learning to enjoy freedom (without shame or guilt).
