It seems that what's happened is that my obsessiveness has really put me out of balance here. Being in the zone is when there is balance, but I was just afraid of failing.
My remedy was asking the instructor for specifics about the homework, and finding out there's no need to fret - I won't be judged or don't even have to make much effort. I went too far in this little noggin'(or rather the big one).
Hugs: I've been that excited before too. I don't really like it, not being able to sleep when the ideas are just pouring in. I want to be more laid back these days. I remember once working on a sculpture and I was in the "zone". My hands seemed to work on their own, they knew exactly what I wanted to do and everything flowed so smoothly. It was the first time I had ever felt it and was a marvel to me. I like it when things work so smoothly, no struggle between body and mind, very zen like I think. There is nothing else which gets in the way at that moment in time. I'm happy for you that you are enjoying your course in design.
I'm up at some ungodly hour because I'm so excited about a course assignment that I've been pacing around measuring and trying things, and playing with design possibilities. I even walked out into the sub-zero porch in my bare feet, and snuck into an adjacent separate room near a sleeping parent so I could test some of my designs. When I mistakenly struck a large metal serving bowl, I winced since it rang like a church bell, but touching it stopped the sound immediately.
We all need loving people around us to act as "emotional shock absorbers" to absorb that extra "noise" so we can live our dreams, don't we
I could have used the term planning for home renovation, so it's part of helping my parent. It wasn't something I wanted, but have to do. However, the instructor makes things fun.
What I need to distinguish is that it seems that i have to find recreation away from the course, even if it's fun...strange as this may seem. I think I need a break since the new year's courses are committing me in a way I haven't commited for a while...but I'm adapting with new skills eg. confidence in the kitchen; laundry room; support from you and the facilitators and members
I couldn't sleep last night as my mind explore creative options for a course I took in design, but I still feel as refreshed as I did before I ventured into something I finally enjoyed. It felt timeless as I seemed "waste" time yesterday with homework which I experienced like no other passion.
I wonder if others have experienced something which just permeates your pores so you can't barely sleep anymore
