Clinical Perfectionism vs Harmonic Conditioning

Personal Efficiency StrategiesSelf-Improvement Insights
Purity or perfection is like a synthetic, single-frequency music synthesizer, lacking the depth of natural sounds. It's important to establish connections between different 'notes' or actions to facilitate more sustainable change. Setting up conducive conditions, like enjoying a podcast while painting, helps create a supportive environment for transforming intentions into actions.

Artistic Process and GrowthCreative Industry Challenges
I've been contemplating the significance of early rising for meditation and how checking my phone, especially after seeing a recent Instagram post, often distracts me. I'm also focusing on how I store and present my paintings, drawing lessons from others and recognizing the importance of embracing external influences to achieve mastery. Beyond just improving creatively, I'm setting goals to enhance how I present and network my art, aiming for a mindset of sharing rather than just consumption.

Personal Efficiency StrategiesEmotional Intelligence in Creativity
I've recently undergone a mindset shift, focusing on growth by pushing past perceived limits, which has brought new insights and efficiencies in both my work and personal life. It's crucial for me to differentiate between mere resistance and actual limitations, and to challenge my impulses to achieve spontaneity, growth, and unexpected miracles. I've integrated this perspective into my daily practices, including work habits and morning routines, aligning it with my 'octave' approach to life. This approach consists of eight principles aimed at fostering evolutionary growth.

Exploring the challenges of managing resonance and attention, especially in the context of social media, reveals how resonance can be a double-edged sword, offering positive experiences or trapping us in negative cycles. Personal struggles with morning phone engagement highlight the need for effective strategies. Considerations include pre-visualizing interactions for controlled engagement and using ratios to balance influences, concepts to be further explored in meditation sessions.

Self-Improvement InsightsPersonal Efficiency Strategies
As I prepare for trips to Singapore and Thailand, I'm focused on completing patterns and technical packs for production readiness, despite an increasing workload from website management. I'm conscious of not letting the accumulation of tasks impact my productivity. Reflecting on my relationship with caffeine, I've realized its adverse effects on my energy patterns and overall health, leading me to reframe it as a depletive force, not an energy source.
This new perspective on caffeine is part of a broader approach I'm adopting across various aspects of my life, aiming for inversions in behaviors and systems. I also mention my personal project, wdim.org, which is focused on addressing systemic issues.

Navigating aphantasia, a condition that hinders visualization and vivid memory recall, has significantly impacted life, memory, and art creation. It necessitates extra effort in memory development and establishing routines, requiring meticulous planning and review. In art, this journey has shifted from arbitrariness to seeking absolute truths, with a focus on transcendent luminosity and audience co-creation, profoundly supporting the creative process.

I begin each day with a meditative routine, which sets the tone for my focus and productivity. In my approach, I liken the process of painting to managing daily tasks, underscoring the importance of engaging only in painting or projects that completely capture my interest. I strongly believe in the power of preparation and removing potential obstacles, akin to clearing the runway for a plane's takeoff, to create optimal conditions for success in my work.

A transformative journey in painting led to a shift from natural pigments to lab-derived mineral pigments, influenced by the discovery of the Real Color Wheel and its impact on understanding color mixing. This change in materials was driven by concerns over waste and health risks associated with natural substances. The evolution in technique, favoring paintings without visible brushstrokes and using the biological signal of eye focus as a completion indicator, marks a significant development in artistic ability and satisfaction.

Tribalism or Harmonic Resonance
Tribalism or Harmonic Resonance
Wes Ee Clearly
Interpersonal Communication SkillsSocial Intelligence
The term 'tribalism' is often linked to a divisive 'us versus them' mentality, promoting excessive homogeneity and impeding diverse interconnections. Advocating for 'harmonic resonance' as a metaphor, the focus shifts from the divisive aspects of identity-based tribalism to a more fluid, inclusive, and interconnected view of human relationships and identity comprehension. This approach encourages a broader, more harmonious understanding of communal connections.

Establishing Morning Focus and Day's Priorities
Establishing Morning Focus and Day's Priorities
Wes Ee Clearly
Personal Efficiency StrategiesGoal-Oriented Productivity
I've found that vocalizing my thoughts in the morning, like this morning at 3:42 a.m., helps me focus and physically resonates more than internal dialogue. Instead of meditating, I chose to speak out loud, planning to set daily goals each morning to maximize my time. Today, my focus is on developing a new website for raiments.xyz, handling admin tasks, and preparing a painting for Yoon's album cover. To prevent my attention from scattering, I'm using my Notion list to prioritize tasks that convert potential energy into movement, forming a pragmatic plan to tackle time-sensitive tasks while deferring others.

Recently, I've started using Instagram to share my genuine creative acts, reflecting on this during a podcast about Web3 creators and resilience. As a solopreneur, I've always prioritized authentic connections over mere career networking, believing firmly in upholding personal values rather than compromising for external success.

Creative Industry ChallengesAuthentic Content Strategy
I've come to understand that the path of creation, with its struggles and eventual triumphs, offers deep, meaningful rewards. Yet, there's a tempting shortcut: visualization and manifestation practices. These can give a quick emotional fix, simulating the joy of achievement without any real action, potentially derailing the motivation to create. This realization has led me to advocate strongly for action-oriented creation, where the true value lies in the journey of skill development and interaction with the world, not just in the imagined outcome.
