We are made to make something! We are creative human beings designed to make and create something to increase/beautify/better this world—at least one portion of it (ours)!

I think when we’re not creating…thinking of how to build/make/design/cook/sew/plant –whatever your capacity and inclination is–then we can enter a lethargic lull…a lack of energy.

When these lulls, doldrums, whatever you call them hit…and they will…we need a project, to start something.

‘But I don’t feel like doing anything’, you say.  Then this is exactly the time you need to begin!

Just tinkering around experimenting- doing something, will shift your mind into forward gear.

I’ve learned to always have a project or two going that can be reverted back to finish and see the accomplishment of it when it’s done.

It’s not pride to look back at your work and say to yourself, “That looks good! I did alright!”

The acknowledgement of what you did will propel you to do more.

The cycle repeats.

What project do I have on the back burner ready to begin when the doldrums hit?
