This is such an illuminating reflection! I have been thinking of my creative process in a similar way, but as breathing - in and out. I was starting to feel anxious when I'd wake up and not feel full of story to write. But I've been alternating with contemplative reading on some days, and then after a few days of that, I'll wake up brimming with words and thoughts to write for my story. And it feels like breathing - I breath in for a bit, I take from the world around me, and it nourishes and energizes me. And I digest that, then have something to breathe out - to return to the world in the form of creation. Now, when I wake up with nothing to write yet, I can have faith that I will in time, and just need to breath in ideas and words a bit more. Knowing that I will exhale ideas and story in due course has helped me not be afraid of being empty. Maybe that can help as another way to think of things for someone dealing with similar worries. I share praise and gratitude to you for sharing your light - it helps me feel less alone on my creative journey. And I will remember to praise that around me too!

I'm glad youtube suggested me this channel, I have found myself waiting for these videos daily. They are a big motivator. Thank you for all the work you do.

Thank you for your ideas ❤❤❤

This is such a good way to put it considering I always feels like writing as an oblation but I never seem to get the word out of it not until now. Thank you so much this is really helpful, writing will now give me more a deeper dive and purpose!

I always maintain that I write because, like breathing, I have to. This idea of offering fits so well. You had me at banana leaves and steamed rice though. As there is no time like the present, I'll start now with your prompt: A stranger bestows a gift... A new path is shown to me- Today I offer thanks.

Thank you so much for this insightful video

Beautiful!

As a painter, I find value in this. It resonates with me that the more I paint, the more I want to paint. When my life feels off, painting brings me back to balance.

I was raised in an environment of extreme negativity and neglect, where gratitude, generosity, and creativity was not recognized. Thank you so much for pointing out how these things are connected; it was a very significant revelation. Blessings to you in abundance! Thank you, thank you thank you.

Oh, this is beautiful. You are very, very right!

Ive been shouting for "book" since October. From the Hocus pocus movie trying to manifest a new job just like she can call for her sacred text. Listening to this tonight has me thinking the job is within. 💜💜💜 Thank you for sharing.

As much of a wise guy as I am, I value the idea of us as Homo Ludens as much as we are Homo Sapiens. And we lose our understanding of play as we grow, so this is such a lovely reminder of approaching writing and other activities as play. Thank you!

What I've written have been stones, so far. Painstakingly trying to keep them safe. Thanks for the great perspective.

I like that😳. great example

This is so beautiful and inspiring - thank you! Your call for us to let ourselves go resonates deeply with how I see the writing I am doing - I feel like a conduit for a story that wants to be told. So glad to find others with a similar perspective. Thank you!

I’m not a writer (though I like to journal), I prefer express myself through drawing or singing to writing. But I loved the idea of prompts - I’m practicing feeling gratitude myself and the prompt you gave really inspired me to try poetry and writing. Really great video and solid advice, thank you for sharing this video with us.

Not sure why this came up in my feed. What I wrote was a journal of what I did this morning. It wasn't good or bad. Maybe a little depressing.

I love the opening of your videos! I am creative abundance. It's beautiful, and it works. ❤️🎄✨️❄️

man, I got creative abundance, but man, wish I had some cash abundance because this is bad

That's the stuff of poetry and art, spending good time with individual words and individual things.

The writing promots in the middle of the video are genius, please never stop doing them! I personally need to find back to allowing for my inner world of imagination blossoming without judging it. And to be honest after years of purposefully callousing up my soul for the sake of self protection against emotional pain during a toxic relationship, I need to learn how to access my emotions again and allow for energetic fluctuation between me and the outer world, to allow to be open again, because I think this is paramount for the creative process. When I feel alive inside and can feel my emotions and allow for my inner world to blossom, I feel as if I am surrounded by my creative process, as if I live in it and it is part of me and my world. I feel the warmth and connection with it in my heart. When I am closing all of this off, THAT is when I lose touch with this feeling, and when I merely stare at the blank page without a single idea. It is not because I don't have any ideas at all, but because I can't feel anything, and feel something I have to if I want to write things that will feel alive to both me and the potential reader.

Dear Justen, may your channel blossom and prosper! You are having a completely unique and individual approach! I personally realise this very moment that THIS is what was lacking from all the other advice: the spiritual element. The universe, god, all energies working together to aid us, in the moment we start trying. Much love and have a wonderful day.

this was so special. Thank you.

Thank you for this eye-open video.

Wow…thank you! I will never forget this story. What a gift and inspiration.

Normally I would stop a video like this the moment I realized I cant even hear the dialogue on maximum volume but the content interested me enough to read the transcript and I wasnt disappointed. So I give it a thumbs up. Great points. Just please, for the love of Calliope (patron of epic poetry), invest in a decent microphone set up! I have a Blue Yeti USB Mic and I am not what anyone would describe as wealthy. I'm what they call "working poor". So if I can afford a better than average mic then I'm sure you could manage it too. Mine was only around 100 dollars. There are way cheaper ones but if you are going to be a content creator you really need to invest in a mic that is well known for its sound quality. That is actually more important than video quality if all you are showing is yourself talking. The average smart phone has good enough video quality.

I liek this.. it’s like inverse AI. I click random video from the algorithm, and you give me a prompt. I respond based on my inner model, but instead of reversion to mean slop, I created something new and valuable to help my creative mind get momentum on a problem I’ve been hammering for months. I wish you success, I hope you give me more prompts to invert the AI paradigm further. God be with ye brother

❤❤❤

Thank you Justin! ❤❤❤

Problem with your audio; unfortunately can't hear anything

This video feels good but the sound ... we can't hear your voice😢

Thank you, Justen. Your understanding of the spiritual elements employed in the practice of writing, or any creative activity is clear and helpful. Your video reminds me of the important ingredients needed in the writing process: practice, joy, cultivation, a healthy environment, and devotion. And how these, when worked together, lead to a "coming to love." Which is our dance with the divine, which is why we write. Well done. I look forward to hearing more of your wisdom.
