An artist’s journey is a constant balancing act where s/he must overcome daily hurdles. The term homeostasis, which we learned in science class but probably have forgotten, is actually the perfect metaphor for this ongoing process as a creator. I (Phil Svitek) will explore what I mean by this and more importantly how it can benefit you in your work. I’ll also reference Steven Pressfield’s The War of Art which shares similar notions. Once you begin to understand this concept you can begin to master mental fortitude and unlock your passions that allow you to meet your muse everyday! That’s pretty powerful if you stop to think about it. So check it out! I also encourage you to write any comments or questions you may have so I can respond. PS: The definition of homeostasis is: any self-regulating process by which biological systems tend to maintain stability while adjusting to conditions that are optimal for survival. If homeostasis is successful, life continues; if unsuccessful, disaster or death ensues. The stability attained is actually a dynamic equilibrium, in which continuous change occurs yet relatively uniform conditions prevail. Can you guess how this ties back to an artist’s life before tuning into the episode? Even if you do, I promise there’s many take-aways you’ll gain.
