Stream of Art

In this episode, we discuss the concept of seasonality. Michelle celebrates some musical wins and Robyn processes her feelings about an art show that didn’t meet her (perhaps unrealistic?) expectations.

Quotes, ideas, and insights referenced:

“Swaths of psychological research show that our happiness in any given moment is a function of our reality minus our expectations. When reality matches or exceeds expectations, we feel good. When reality falls short of expectations, we feel bad.” - Brad Stulberg, Master of Change, page 47

“Be regular and orderly in your life so that you may be violent and original in your work.” - Gustave Flaubert, French novelist.
