Description
A recent realization in regard to my mind and body connection, is truly understanding how hyper vigilant my nervous system is, and how easily I get overwhelmed. But I often have a stoic exterior that it’s hard to read. Ive been able to make sense of the struggle that I have between wanting to be social and on the other hand because my system gets overwhelmed easily, needing the time to be in a quiet place where I can reflect, and better self regulate. The process of sitting and making art on my own can be so soothing. I can and have spent many days alone just making art. At certain point it does start to feel a bit strange like I can be kind of stuck in my own head. With that said, I am still learning how to find a healthy balance between creatively satisfying solitude that is also soothing to my nervous system, and then seek out emotionally and intellectually satisfying social time with others. Furthermore, I feel like I’ve sacrificed investing into many human relationships in pursuit of bettering my creative skills in solitude. Even when I do spend time with other human beings, if I am not deeply engaged about something that I care about I find that my mind just wanders off thinking about my next creation. Mindfulness helps me to be present, but it doesn’t always work because creating is a very pleasurable act for me. At times I feel like I am trapped in my own mind, both reveling in it and simultaneously finding it very unpleasant. Such a peculiar experience.
