Steven Pressfield (author of The War of Art and The Legend of Bagger Vance):
When you feel overwhelmed or unfocused, what do you do?
I have a friend at the gym who knew Jack LaLanne (Google him if the name is unfamiliar). Jack used to say it’s okay to take a day off from working out. But on that day, you’re not allowed to eat.
that’s the short way of saying you’re not really allowed to get unfocused. Take a vacation. Gather yourself.
But know that the only reason you’re here on this planet is to follow your star and do what the Muse tells you.
