Hi, this is Anne with your Coaching On The Go.

I’m up at SpiritRiver working on my next piece of artwork, and it’s hard.

It’s hard.

I want to go eat.

I want to then go snack.

I want to check my phone.

I want to take a nap.

There is just a slew of things one after the other, and if I were to allow those things to continue to distract me, I’ll never get this drawing done.

The thing is that what I’ve learned here is I’m a very intuitive person.

I like things to come to me, but unless I get started, they won’t come. 

I’ve got to have a balance where I’m letting my being know that I am going to be working, then once I get in the throes of the work, the other subconscious sorts of ideas that are great, whether I’m working on my tech work or in the studio with drawing or artwork.

If you find yourself procrastinating or distracted over and over, you have to go into it.

You have to shift that otherwise you won’t get beyond the distraction and into the depth where you get the inspiration.

Today’s coaching is talking about the importance of having discipline.

I don’t love discipline,

I’m a freewheeler.

I’m sure there are some people listening to this who have high amounts of structure and others with lower.

If you are finding distraction in every direction you turn, you have to nip that by getting in there and working through it, otherwise, you will remain at that same point day after day, sidetracking and not get anything done.

It’s going to cost a lot of extra time and you are never going to get in where the inspiration is.

Sometimes, it’s not pleasant; you just have to go all the way in and do the work and put in the time.

For the other magic to happen, you’ve got to get that started.

It’s not always pleasant to be working.

You are not always in the flow of life.

It’s that contrast that helps us ask for more so we can grow.

I’d love to hear from you about your procrastination or how you are stuck so I can support you.

Have a beautiful day.
