So, I haven't been into the yoga studio more than twice in the last month... and while my body isn't feeling the best, I am noticing a creative BOOM. Designs have been flowing through me quite easily lately... and while I don't want to jinx anything by mentioning it, I just have to talk about it a little because it baffles me slightly.
I'm noticing a trend. Lots of yoga means very little designing, and little yoga means lots of designing. I can't help but wonder about the relationship between the two. Is the energy used when doing physical yoga the same energy I use to design? Is it a creative energy? What is it about the LACK of yoga that lets creative energy flow more freely? I'm truly baffled, it seems backwards. You'd think more yoga would increase creative energy... maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Yoga makes me feel like a million bucks. After a long session I can feel like a peaceful blob of jello—quiet, calm and floppy—or a high-energy honey bee, buzzing around with super-speed productivity. Maybe that's the problem—that there's an imbalance between how I am before and after doing yoga? Maybe the ups and downs disrupt the delicate balance that is necessary for creative energy to flow? When I'm not doing yoga, my energy levels are relatively consistent—no highs—no lows. Is that what is needed for creative energy to flow through me? Who knows—I don't, I'm just speculating.
This seems to be a constant experiment for me, and this trend between designing and yoga seems to be consistent.
Is there anyone out there who's noticed this same pattern happening in their own life? How do you deal with it?
