I’m going to say something perhaps unexpected: I believe you need more stress in your life! 

BUT - the right kind of stress and in the right amount.

With too much stress, we can face overwhelm and burnout, but with not enough, we also experience low emotions of purposelessness and lack of energy. We live in a rhythmic and cyclical universe - think about circadian rhythms, seasons, and moon cycles. We’re not meant to be in constant expenditure or underuse of energy. 

The key is in balancing moments of high creative exertion (stress) with recovery and replenishment. When we can manage our energy in this way, we will feel much better in our creative practices!

This episode will tackle the answer to this, which I believe to be the power of creative routines.
