nurture your inner child, muse, don't self judge live. feel the fear and do it anyway.

Thanks Paul Trammell, Dream Chasers and Eccentrics podcast for a great interview with Scott Grace, The Spiritual Dr Zeus's. 

+ his gig, in varied settings, is to improvise. (He has opened for Robyn Williams.)

+ he describes how children have a natural or instinctual drive to create funny songs, phrases and poems, and with practice and confidence that this is a good thing, he bought this talent into adulthood, indeed as a career. The clincher is that this instinct for playful, positive living, is extremely easily crushed:- 

- you're no good as a poet.

- you're a shit singer.

- that's crap

- get a real job.

Each one of these, or similar, has a vast capacity to crush ones inner child, one's free spirit, one's inner muse.

The way to repair this inner rift, to heal yourself, is to meditate, breathe, own it,  acknowledge any anxiety, fear or nervousness that you feel and use this to fuel your actions, moving towards a creative product. Say yes! 

Disregard the knockers, the deadheads to conformists.
