Wrestling Match


Procrastination and Distraction are clever adversaries.  This one-two-punch-tag-team-duo will wrestle your creativity to the ground, pin it to the mat and leave it begging for mercy.

Scroll through your Facebook convincing yourself that links to “The Seven Things Everyone Should Do…” is empowering.  Flip through Instagram telling yourself that viewing other people’s dinner is fulfilling.  Keep checking (and re-checking) your inbox just in case something “new and important” arrives.

Keep doing this and your Artist won’t stand a chance in this fight.

These outlets are fine, but they are not your work.  Don’t engage your social media because you are searching for something to say.  Search yourself and discover you actually have something you have to express.  Don’t envy another ‘Friend’s’ latest carefully filtered picture; envision the place you want to go and, by all means, start moving towards it.

Procrastination and Distraction can only levy the strength you give them.

Don’t give in.  Don’t surrender.  You've only got one fight…come out of your corner swinging.
