I often find myself getting all of my 'important' to-do's out of the way before I allow myself time to create and by then I am exhausted. I think a morning practice would be a great idea for me.Suzanne Fortnumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07401675657070695371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17426446.post-59475707319657263082011-12-31T16:42:24.975-05:002011-12-31T16:42:24.975-05:00I really love Eric's confidence in the process...I really love Eric's confidence in the process he recommends and I particularly loved the example he gave of the pastor who quit and then decided to do art - showing up every day to make serious steps towards his end goal.<br />Thank you for sharing this interview. it is really encouraging.

The idea of having one creative focus and just working on it each day. The process. Sounds a bit like creating a creative habit.

I feel one of the main things that has stifled my creativity is not allowing enough time for creative thought - perhaps out of a misguided attempt to make being creative just another thing I can check off my daily to-dos. Even a few minutes of genuine complete stopping I think would be helpful.Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05949729873813925445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17426446.post-54536851336197930482011-12-28T20:34:28.716-05:002011-12-28T20:34:28.716-05:00Thanks for introducing your listeners to Dr. Maise...Thanks for introducing your listeners to Dr. Maisel! This is perfect timing, considering that over 2011 I really worked on incorporating more creative and expressive work in my therapy with clients.

Rather than waiting or hoping for the time at the end of the day, take control of our creative lives as the day begins allowing the "less meaningful" daily deeds to be simply that.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04898940353315739817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17426446.post-43236760757036275652011-12-28T16:20:28.349-05:002011-12-28T16:20:28.349-05:00Loved this podcast!

My exercise is my commute to work with having the ability of allowing my imagination and thoughts flow during that bus, train, and walk to work. The only drawback is that I don't write any of my thoughts down. So, I will have to carry with me a notepad to capture them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17426446.post-2726049869045735962011-12-27T13:13:14.232-05:002011-12-27T13:13:14.232-05:00I loved how he talked about doing your creative wo...I loved how he talked about doing your creative works in the morning before you start your day.
