It’s a strange thing when you go from being deeply busy, projects lined up, ideas bubbling, plans and deadlines pulling you forward to absolutely nothing. No project. No pull. Just space. That’s where I found myself today. I had been pushing hard, holding tight to the pressure of 'I need to build something next.' A sound bath, a workshop, a new painting.. something. But the truth is, all that pushing started to feel like dragging my heels through sand. And then… I just dropped it. I let the pressure go. Not because I was giving up, but because something in me whispered: ---You don’t need to force it right now. What happened next surprised me. The resistance I’d been butting heads with quietly dissolved. Gone. No fireworks. No big shift. Just a deep breath and a subtle lightness. I realized resistance feeds on our need to control, to push, to over-manage our creative cycles. When I stopped doing that, it had nothing left to hold onto. The space I’m in now doesn’t feel like emptiness. It feels like openness. I finally unclenched my hand. A soft pause before the next inhale. I share this because maybe you’re in a similar spot. Maybe you’re used to producing, building, planning and suddenly there’s no next project tugging at your sleeve. It can feel disorienting. But here’s what I’m remembering (and maybe you need to hear too): As they say, creative pauses are a source of inspiration. They’re not empty. They’re ready. If you’re in a space like this, you don’t have to rush to fill it. You can sit in it like a quiet sound bath, spacious, gentle, patient. The next thing will emerge. And it won’t have claw marks from you dragging it into existence. It will rise because the space invited it. For now, I’m holding onto a simple phrase that anchors me: 'I’m not empty. I’m open.' And I trust that’s enough as I am loving this new feeling!
