Discipline in creative practice is punishment if you shame yourself for experiencing resistance or for not doing something perfectly.
Discipline in creative practice is self-love when you allow yourself to fully experience the totality of all emotions and thought patterns that come up when you do creative work, including resistance and feelings of despair. what if all emotions were met with acceptance and compassion instead of critical judgment?
You can infuse pleasure, playfulness, and spontaneity in your creative discipline, structures, and rituals. What's the point if you are not enjoying yourself?
