And so I think that's part of it.

But there's still the I don't know element to it, too.

I'm not at risk of becoming too rigid.

I definitely lean in the other direction of the too wild.

I think that with my creative work, I don't feel I have to be disciplined.

If anything, I might

have to be disciplined to get other things done when I'm in the flow of being creative.

So, you know, mom stuff or work stuff or all that.

Sometimes I'm like, okay, and I'm toggling back and forth because I'm trying to stay in my creative flow.

So I don't feel like I need a lot of discipline around that.

I need discipline more around the other things to do things that I maybe have avoidance around.

And routines helped me a lot with that and getting into just more regular flow, which is something I'm really working hard at.

I need that routine to help me with the discipline of the stuff that I may have more avoidance around and things like painting where I'm kind of squeezing it in wherever I can.

So I have a pretty solid morning ritual that includes my meditation.

It includes the morning pages from the artist's way, but I oftentimes do my own thing with my journal and my pages.

I actually have been doing Elizabeth Gilbert's Dear Love.

Ah,

prompt that I heard here on this podcast.

And it's been really powerful for me.

Dear love, what would you have me know?
