holding on

Clearly I've been holding on to something. For weeks I've had that tight feeling all over and I can't relax no matter how many mind games I play, no matter how much deep breathing or how long I sit on the couch "doing nothing." I'm just all wound up and I don't know why. I wonder what it is that I can't let go?


Today I met a man who kind of blew my mind. With simply a look he was able to unwind me. At first I felt a myself relax, then a sensation at the back of my head, and now I'm home making dinner and I still feel unwound. How extraordinary.


It's causing me to rethink everything I've been doing in the past 2 years to approach my chronic junk. What if it's as simple as a look? 


In the same way as learning that the healing process might be simple, I'm discovering all this on-line business might be simple too. Applications have developed over the past 5 years to assist artist in ways that just didn't exist a few years ago. I've wanted to explore this but it always overwhelmed me -- too many options, too much time, too much maintenance. I've been doing it these past few weeks and it's SO EASY. I just began to set up my bandcamp page, and I just developed a new music newsletter for my fans. It actually looks like what I want to present to the world. 


Poof. More chronic junk gone. Why hold on?
