For some time now I noticed I struggle to work on my craft, I tried to best up myself forcing me into doing everyday, but the more I do so the more myself doesn't want to comply with me. So I began to torture myself with guilt and sudden I could feel depression rising.
I stopped working on my craft and just find movies to watch. I did this for days and yet there is this voice telling me I was wasting time I should be working, but I just ignored the voice.
Right now I'm better. I feel more energy to now start working on my craft.
With this experience I could totally relate with this post you made.
It really is hard sometimes to keep this in mind and step away when you're faced at all times with the proof that others are hard at work (thanks to internet, phones, social media, etc.).
I'll spare the details for now, but for me, that stepping away and ACTUALLY relaxing belongs to a series of muscles that I'm not very good at flexing at this time. But I'm working on it, because it's crucial.
Your craft can bring you a lot of joy. True. But I'm of the belief that it cannot sustain a full life. And if we don't take time to do exactly that--stepping away and collecting new, genuine experiences--the art itself will also suffer.
Wow, this really blessed me!

Thank you for sharing.
I'm very glad it did. We all need a break sometimes. It's ok to do nothing for a little while but it can be difficult to quiet that voice. Peace.
Wonderful advice.
