I can recommend the book “The Art Of Learning: An Inner Journey To Optimal Performance” by Josh Waitzkin. It’s quick read but and it talks about that phenomenon and others and how to live with it in harmony.

Our creativity is in the zone of flow – it is not an endless machine.

It needs time to be feed from life. In other words we need to feed our creative expression with experiences that will give it the necessary fuel to get going again.

Often after a break I am ‘sooo’ full of ideas I think I’ll never get them down on paper fast enough. I have learned to trust this organic process now and feel better for doing so. After all your creative energy like other parts of you needs to be honoured and treated properly, yes?

Good response and blog Sir, as usual!

Just to let you know, my book, “Letting Go With All Your Might” is all about the cycle of being in the flow, losing it and regaining balance again.

I created an 11-Stage “Redecisions Model for Change” illustrated in the book that “shows” how this cycle looks and works, and 40-exercises to help the reader resolve what’s past and step into the new.

Thank you again for your meaty and important postl
