Sometimes this means improvising at the piano.  Sometimes it means writing a new arrangement or original composition -- not only for myself, but something I can use at one of my jobs. Sometimes it means writing a poem.  I used to be pretty good at javascript, so creating a small web app can have the same effect.  

But the focus that comes from envisioning something and then taking the steps to bring it from idea to reality -- even if it's something short and simple -- can be enough to take one out of the center of a chaotic situation -- and then, on the way back in, one cannot help but see the big picture from afar before re-entering.

9 times out of 10, that moment of seeing the big picture and putting the details of the chaos into perspective takes the chaos and changes it into order (even if it's still a little messy).

Just going for a walk outside helps put things in perspective. And it really helps if that becomes part of your daily routine. ]]> 2022-02-07 18:24:14 UTC https://padlet.com/anelson9/tn0fg7jeph54isgt/wish/2033783799
