One question project: Kristine Fernandez
How do you handle the pressure of the demand for delivery and creativity/self-expression?
It's super powerful to be able to tap into and understand your energy ebbs and flows because that inspires the way one creates balance for tasks, for delivery. Creativity is something I believe that requests or really strongly asks for space. And when I can acknowledge that, then I realize that creativity can come at any moment. Inspiration can come at any moment.
And I also know on the o opposite side of things, that when in the event that I'm unable to, or if I don't feel creative or very expressive, then the science that's a sign for me to do a little bit of introspective work. Like is it because I'm physically tired? Is it because I'm overloaded? Is it because I feel out of balance or is it because the thing that the way in which I'm creating something doesn't feel true to me.
So if I find that I'm trying to create something and it's been, you know, it doesn't feel that fun, I specifically set myself an activity to feel the fun. To have fun because in the place of fun and lightness and even just general space, being surrounded by, you know, people who inspire you or listening to something that inspires you or exercise. Or even like, honestly not just cooking in the kitchen, but for me cleaning in the kitchen. I'll do an activity that just shifts my focus to something else. And then I find that opens up the channels for creativity and self-expression.
So authenticity is probably one of my key anchors. And even though I'm still trying to refine and understand the balance. It's definitely something I am still learning how to manage. So it's an ongoing kind of journey in that place for me.
