The journal exercise was really useful. I was struck by how the desire for a few feeling states (joy, safety, connection, play) seem to be at the root of most of my wants. Remembering those feelings when I'm experiencing resistance to creating feels like it could be a way forward. I'm really enjoying your posts, Scott. Thank you!
Stumbled upon this letter, and felt it in my bones— absolutely love what you have written. Reminds me of the philosophy written about in The Inner Game of Tennis- how important it is to not criticize or praise but to simply observe our thoughts, actions, habits, etc. When you limit excessive and mostly unnecessary feedback from your own self, there’s so much less noise to wade through to get to what you actually want. Thank you for writing!
