I have found that there is deep love and incredible wisdom in the space between - the space where we can ask and answer soulful questions.

Over some period of time, I'll continue to explore these "in-between" moments, and unpack how my practice has helped guide me through them. Your in-between moments are likely to overlap with mine. We're remarkably similar.

So…let’s try this. This Sunday is a good a time as any to try doing something - anything! - without measurement.

Spend some time (even start with 30 mins) doing something you enjoy - whether you're good at it or not - with zero expectation of improvement. There's a million things you could do - cook, draw, paint, sketch, write, or even go to a bookstore and browse, go to an art supply store, a café with a good book, visit the zoo or the botanical gardens. Do it purely for the experience itself, with no documentation or evaluation. Make it a non-goal oriented experience.

My favorite book of all time, The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron (this will not be the last time I refer to Julia Cameron's book - so now may be a good time to order it and start that magical journey), calls these Artist's Dates.  It's doing something that intrigues or enchants you and hopefully sparks  inspiration. The only ones on this 'date' are you and your creative self, they're ideally things outside of your normal everyday routine. It's more about play than anything else. As adults, we need more play  in our lives - it breaks up the goal-oriented mentality and helps us reframe activities from always being a means to an end into an experience worth having for its own sake.
