“Enjoy the plateau while you’re on it.”

Life has its ups and downs. So does your art.

There are also plateaus.

We often look at these moments as a negative.

But they aren’t.

You never think of a plateau as a negative thing when it happens on the way from a “down”.

Plateaus in your art are actually neutral points. They are there for resting.

A reset.

A pause.

You may need to let the dust settle.

When people say they need a vacation, it’s because they feel like they need to stop and reset.

After that vacation they feel refreshed and energized for the next thing.

That’s how you should feel during a plateau. It’s a rest mode that allows you to launch in the next thing when you're done with your plateau.
