I've Been Thinking about Hard Work...

Been thinking about hard work.
I believe in hard work, there’s nothing wrong with it.
I actually kind of like it.
Actually I really like it.
I like producing things and making things.
It feels good to produce and I don’t believe that is inherently wrong at all.
I also believe in ease and flow.

I believe in hard work, there’s nothing wrong with it.
I actually kind of like it.
Actually I really like it.
I like producing things and making things.
It feels good to produce and I don’t believe that is inherently wrong at all.
I also believe in ease and flow.
I don’t think these things are mutually exclusive.
I think hard work does build character, i think it pulls things out of us, and I think it is a form of service to the global community and our greater purpose. I especially love doing challenging work in collaboration - like screenwriting for example - hashing out details of a story with another writer and making it all work together. It’s hard. And delightful.
Everything important we have and use regularly is a result of some serious high quality work. TV shows, computers, electricity… etc etc
I am a fan.
At the same time - I think it’s okay to evolve our relationship to work as we evolve. I think some of our mindsets, attitudes and yes - t r a u m a patterns cause us to feel we need to work harder than hard at our hard work.
So then we come to the hard work with less access to the areas of our brain that can move the hard work along. Because of stress or shame based perfectionism, or unresolved trauma and underlying chronic stress…
Which then results in LESS creativity, productivity and ultimately quality of the work we do. And THAT has an impact on our health and well being.
I’m interested in healthy relationships. And healthy relationships with work are a big deal. And challenging.
Work is a thing. It’s an important thing.
And lack-lustre work is not great for us or for the world.
What I am interested in is doing hard work from a different internal place.
Is it possible to do hard work and produce from a place of ease and flow in service to a higher purpose?
Yes! I DO DECLARE IT IS POSSIBLE!
And what makes it possible is some healing and
alignment work.
Yes I know…. I say it over and over but it’s true!
Looking under the proverbial covers about how we have been approaching work as high performers, leaders and entrepreneurs is IMPORTANT.
Some of our approach has been amazing - and maybe some is less healthy than it can be. And we have the power to change that.
though it may be hard to change our relationship to work and productivity, it will lead to more efficiency, creativity and beauty in our devotion to the work we do. And healthier lives outside of work.
