Health first

I took a couple days of rest from the music creation, sorta. Going full steam into another project was overwhelming and there were too many mental constructs blocking me. Firstly, I was tired, and the music is going to be a direct result of how I’m feeling. So I tried to make something and it sounded…tired. I want the music and art to be a result of my life experience. I need to rest and let the inspiration return on its own accord. So many challenging things came up subconsciously when I was tired and creating art. A lot of “you can’t do that, it has to be this other way.” And not seeing a way out. But there’s no right or wrong, it’s just DO. And when I’m rested and healthy, the DO comes easy. The DO comes from a place of strength and interest in the work. But when I’m tired, all signs point towards self-protection, so it is impossible to be vulnerable to let the output of art flow. Art for me seems to require personal safety and health. And I can happily do whatever I want from there. My main difficulty with art is entirely unrelated to art. The challenge is being a healthy happy human. Then the art will happen naturally. I heard cigarettes make you healthy and happy. Just kidding. Energy drinks do, though. Perhaps I’m a little redundant in this post. Hope it inspires health and happiness!
