One of the things that I have been focused on this year so far is to focus on my hobbies. As I have said in previous posts I used to be devoted to the film industry. After getting a little burnt out I took a step back and redirrected my energy toward the aspects that I could do in my spare time and that I got the most joy from. The result was an increase in editing jobs. My roomate recently put me in touch with a prospective client that has a show tha needs to be cut and I have been tasked with the job.
I love to edit because it allows me to get outside my head. All the stuff I am trying to change in my life right now can be daunting and a bit overwhelming. Sometimes it helps to just remove myself from the thoughts completely. Editing does this for me! In all reality it is a form of creative thearapy. It is important to take a step back sometimes, and when I am cutting that is exactly what happens. I don't worry about my phone or my email... I just focus on the task at hand. In this case it is to create a kick-ass travel show.
I think it is important that everyone have something like this. It doesn't have to be editing either, it could be knitting if that is what does it for you. Times are hard right now for everyone, but it is important that we don't lose sight life. Having something in your life that allows you to enjoy the day, even for a moment, makes a world of difference.
