I have been struggling for the longest time with motivation to do things that I used to absolutely love doing. I have been dealing with “big picture” life things for a few years and it’s taken its toll. One of the casualties has been a vanishing of joy with doing the creative building work I do from time to time. Today was different in some tiny ways. I found myself liking the processes I am in the middle of, the same ones I have done1000’s of times or more. Really simple things. Little things. Repetitive things. I was focused on the small moments. The finest of actions. And there was no negative energy (self critical thoughts). Maybe there is some change incoming. I’d be grateful if this was the case. I could do with a change for what I would call “better.” 🙏

I can relate. I'm glad that joy's beginning to come back.
Start small, then build something a little bigger. Liking (enjoying) the process sounds a little management speak, but it is great starting off spot. Great to hear it, and keep going.
Can relate. I'm glad you've had a good day! I found that the Artist's Way was really wonderful for getting past that weird apathy and finding joy in creating again. đź«‚
Bless you in this improvement!
