We learn from Zen that it is good to recognize that this moment is not like any other, and what you are doing, is the sum total of all your thoughts, feelings and moods right now. There may have been times when things were better or worse, but that is not what it is all about. What is important is what you are expressing at the present time.
The first requisite to being alive is - presence. Just be there for a start and soon enough, you become at home in the spacious landscape that is your creativity and you may even pitch a makeshift tent till you decide to transplant yourself there and eventually grow roots and bloom.
Be aware, the better you are at being wholly present - meaning being there with all your heart and mind and soul and senses - the better you become in your work.
