The other day I was making a floral arrangement and the flowers just weren't coming together in the way I hoped. I found myself getting frustrated but/and/also trying to remind myself that this is just for FUN. It made me pause and ask myself: why am I doing this again? Is it to make this floral arrangement BE something, or is it one of the ways I help my brain become more flexible? There's an (un)learning curve to perfectionism, that's for sure!
YES! Alison - this is such a beautiful reflection on how creative reframing works in real time. These are such deeply practiced mental pathways - but catching yourself + shifting to fun, flexibility and freedom is *it*. Look at you go!! Thanks for sharing and inspiring others, too :)
