One of the major roadblocks I have had and have been asked by you to adress is how to keep your creative work consistent! Our body and creativity does not work well in extremes. Low states of energy and we will need a nap, become unclear, sluggish, and well – dumb. Manic or hyper states of energy – you know the caffeine and sugar high's, lack of sleep buzz, and the belief that they lead to as if brilliant bursts of genius – are in fact just huge survival power surges.
We cannot maintain either level of energy consistently - nor for long. That survival power surge is most often followed by longer states of burn out and ineffectiveness. (and please, as every creator knows – the bliss of that three-day burn is sometimes excellent – but as a constant energetic state? You know what I am talking about) Equally, habitual low states of energy over a long period of time lead to lack of any real movement in our lives, depression and loss of desire.
Most of us instinctively know, the yoyo effect is not leading to creative consistency – it is stress and simply a habitual way of reacting to fear. To achieve consistency in your creative life, you need cohesive states of energy. What does this mean?
The basic meaning of cohesion is the unity of parts working towards the benefit of a whole – and in this sense cohesion is a state where our body, emotions, and mind are in sinc, as they are meant to be – acting as one.

How To Keep Your Creative Work Consistent!: KEY INSIGHTS
Our body does not work consistently in extremes – so learning to manage your energy levels is key.
The emotional and physical yoyo effect is not leading to creative consistency – it is stress and simply a habitual way of reacting to fear.
To achieve consistency in your creative life, you need cohesive states of energy.
Wethink – Share with the tribe and let's collectively rethink:
Based on what you discovered - what are your tendencies of lowering/increasing your energy level and how does this affect your consistency?
In what way can you commit to shift your levels of energy today? Example: I tend to stop moving for long periods. Today I will stand up, move, stretch and breathe fully every half an hour.
