What do musicians do during the week?
Well, I've been suffering from exhaustion for about a week and a half.
As well as the regular gigging locally and driving to Brisbane for gigs, tending to the gig bookings, website, email list, publicity, recording, posters, new CD launch, rehearsals, I'm also doing a business course 2 days a week, and I've been playing heaps of love gigs (freebies!)...and family of course. I've burnt myself out, it seems to be a regular pattern I go through...work hard, push, push....burn out...get disillusioned....rest, come back to myself and off I go on my burn out trip again, it usually happens about every 6 months at least. But at the core of all this? .....my thought patterns.
Thanks to my enlightened guru, queen of letting go, pschologist trained wife, she's has pulled me through yet another mental and physical burn out. It hurts though, not physically, but mentally she bombards me with conscious spiritual words that I know are true.....I wanna run at the time...but listen cos I know it's for my learning.So to the partners of the world who stand by their loved ones and help them grow....THANK YOU.....but remember, it hurts, so pace your words of healing! ha!
