Chasing The Beast Called Sleep

Listen to "Chasing The Beast Called Sleep" on Spreaker. I love standing in front of a group of people and asking "How many of you are sleepless at night because your creative mind has you working on projects that need to come to the surface?" One of the hardcore lessons about being an artist is the lack of paths and trails offered to help free the weight from the shoulders of other creative minds. A subject of having a sleepless night becomes that thing that's easily laughed off. And yet we know what it did to Michael Jackson. If you feed the creative beast at 3am it's going to want that middle of the night dinner every night. You can do everything within your power to shut down the creative energy but it's going to make it's way to the top at all costs. So how do you live with it without sounding like a broken record? Awareness is the first step. Activating newer discoveries comes in a close second. We're all creative hearts and doers. It's what we do in the silences that changes your life not in the display of victory.
