And then I think about how to package it, present it, and sell it -- and flow stops. Self-consciousness seeps in. Watching myself as others see me -- or at least as I believe they do -- the Critique Cricket (I just made that up! :) starts chirping. Not that I expect it to be bad, as my work is usually quite good, but the work is viewed from the point of examining it for flaws to correct. My father was an engineer, so I learned to see the world from an evaluative viewpoint.
When I then 'try' to present my ideas in 'the best' way, energetically it moves into a state of seeking approval, rather than staying in the flow of creative inspiration. It makes sense that I want others to enjoy how I share my ideas -- that the quality and value exceeds their expectations -- but the strategy I'm using isn't working.
So one way is to capture the ideas when they arrive -- that's where the flow is! That delicious, creative, joyous ease of source energy flowing through! It's about my energy, not my words. So I'll videotape more, audiotape as they arrive, capture that unedited, pure flowing creativity. "Bottled at the source." And expanding my trust that it's -- lets say it again -- about my energy, not my words....
