I followed you here from Havi’s blog today and I FINALLY get it! While the Dance looked awesome, and theoretically I could see how it would help, but until reading this I couldn’t really grasp it for myself. But now I see that it’s probably similar to how ironing, jogging, or anything else that is repetitive and engaging can clear writer’s block, give new ideas, remember things, etc.

So thank you!

@Willie ~ Yeah, I’m not sure I get that brain buzz either, but I love how absorbed I am when it’s just hard enough. It really feels like the state of flow. And I totally relate to getting frustrated with not doing it wrong enough ~ some days my mind is totally off planning my day and I know I’m not getting enough of a challenge. It seems to require constant tweaking!

Doing something that you can only do right if you’re doing it wrong is a wonderful cure for perfectionism, I agree. It’s one of the things I love most about Dance of Shiva. I’m not sure I get the ‘brain buzz’ thing some people describe, but it does tend to shut up my mental chatter and allow me to get on with things.

Only thing is, I’m now getting frustrated with not doing it wrong enough. XD
