5 things on Trust(ing the process)
or how to trust self and trust process and trust spirit muse and god 🪄
Trusting the process is an act, a practise, not a cute thing we can just throw out at each other. If we say we want to trust the process we will be given opportunities to trust the process. We may act surprised when the opportunity arrises but it is our call to adventure, our heros journey, the prompt to begin unknowing. Trust doesn’t come from finding the answers inside our phone or other people (limit intake from phone and other people during creation).
Trusting the process means not being attached to an outcome. A deep unknowing and forging into voids beyond. It requires an unhinging from outcomes, expectations, the final result. Artists get caught up on the how we are going to create and forget the why we even wanted to create along the way. Visioning to the future doesn’t mean we can forget the actual trails our feet will walk along. Stay present.
Limitations breed creativity. Getting stuck and, problem solving requires creative thinking. Good news, you’re already incredible at creative thinking, that is why you are here. An opportunity to flex your muscles. There is no use in wishing for the right pen, the correct time or a better circumstance in the moment. We will find more beauty, potency and satisfaction if we co-create with our surroundings.
Collect the data. Trusting the process, trusting self, trusting anything will have rupture and repairs. To begin to trust self start small, ask yourself when you listen to that gut feeling? what you want for dinner? How that tshirt feels in the change room? Getting that colour purple just right? Inner knowing is there, collect the evidence and clues for when you feel close to it. This is still art making, this is still part of the process.
I can’t think of self trust with out quoting Audre Lorde here (and forever thank you to
for reminding me of this quote constantly but also embodying it 🪄):I am completely self-referenced right now because it is the only translation I can trust. - Audra Lorde
