Lately, I’ve been thinking about if I should move to a person who creates because it feels like I’ve consumed a lot of things since I was young. Most of the things that I consume in my early days are anime series, manga, video games, computer games, self-help books, business books, online courses, YouTube tutorials, motivational videos. I couldn’t really count how many hours I’ve spent on those things.
I know it was so easy to just consume things because you don’t have to do any effort on your part and it feels like you still progressing.
These ideas spark with me when I’m reading a book about The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. There is an exercise in the book where you will just write at least 3 hand pages long. I tried the challenge the challenge. I’ve purchased the notebook and I’ve actually written 3 pages long and I couldn’t believe I could do it. The Interesting part is sometimes I could write 7 pages long without interruption.
The idea is you will just write whatever comes to your mind without judging yourself. You know, most of the time we are started to become the critic of our own. The tendency of this is that we are censoring ourself and our perfectionist self taking the lead. Another thing is we are not helping ourself to express things.
I still like the exercise and I’m doing it from time to time. It really helps me to dump all the unprocessed thoughts inside my head which sometimes prevent me from moving forward.
Last words, are you okay to be just an audience in sports? or be the person who actually participating in the games.
