A few years ago, I learned to stop fighting my body’s natural urges from friend and mentor Derek Sivers.
“Stop wrestling. Don’t fight it,” he said. “Go with it, either direction.”
You want to write? Write. Sleep? Sleep. Walk? Walk. Sit in your studio and stare at your walls? Sit and stare!
Last night I found myself wrestling in bed, exhausted, not in the space to do this post. So I curled up, closed my eyes and drifted off into dream land.
I awoke with this memory of Derek in mind and a happy rested body. I quickly jumped out of bed and leapt up to this magical view.
Trusting the natural rhythm of productivity, indeed.
