You then begin to anticipate further distractions. When a so-called distraction at one time is welcomed at another time, then obviously it is no distraction, but expresses a need. You went to the bank today because you thought you should, going against your feelings. You went with your feelings about Maria (Clodes), but this caused you difficulty instead of enjoyment because of the bank. Such a policy would allow you an automatic way of making such decisions, would clear the air, and give you each a far more exuberant flow of energy.

To some extent you do not trust your own creativity enough, but think that it is so weak that it will be destroyed or dissipated by the slightest distraction. You become so worried for it that you can overprotect it, and deny it its natural resiliency and power. When you want to work, do so, for as long as you feel like it, committed to it freely, having decided then that for that time, nothing will be allowed to interfere.

The few distractions of any vital nature then can be handled. They will be minute. When you feel like shopping or seeing people, then do so just as freely. The air will be cleared. You will have a decent policy to follow—and there is none better because it will be dictated by your own individual nature.
