Zen Wisdom for the Creative Path

Based on the post: When the Creative Path Offers You Lemons

This audio discussion details my journey from overwhelming stress and burnout as a solopreneur to finding calm and clarity through Zen practices.

It’s based on this post:



I initially struggled with the lack of structure and the resulting pressures of self-employment. Some time later, I experienced some health issues, including hypertension and anxiety.

I explained how simple Zen-inspired routines, such as daily solitary walks and limiting his to-do list, helped him manage stress and regain his creative drive.

I emphasized that these practices provided a proven path to regaining my center during subsequent life crises, which led me to daily Soto Zen practice and train as a meditation teacher.

Ultimately, the post serves as an inspirational narrative demonstrating how mindfulness and simplicity can transform the challenges of the creative path into opportunities for well-being.
