Although it isn’t change and transformation, the beat of a drum isn’t bad. Repetition isn’t bad.
Repetition allows us to progress without reinventing everything every day. Our habits are very powerful because we reinforce the neuronal bundling daily. But our repetitive tasks are not the creative moment. When we establish a pattern, that can be a creative moment, but the action on repeat is not - and thank goodness. It would be exhausting to have to be creative for every action we take throughout the day. It is the program we continue to run. You can even run a creative habit that helps you create by setting you up to connect with your muse regularly.
When I am in the habit of writing blog posts, I think in blog posts. When I am in the habit of choreographing movement, I think in movement. When I am in the habit of designing sculptures and installations, I think in large shapes. We create the habit, the channel, the portal and then we tend to go through it.
It is a path in the forest between our conscious and subconscious mind. The more we traverse it, the easier it is to find.
