I am developing a habit of hand work (binding) in the morning and creative work (drawing, designing book) in the evening, after an early dinner and a cup of caffeinated tea. At first, when only the head is engaged, there are behavior patterns to constructively occupy the nervous hand and mouth energy, until the hands can be fully engaged as well. I ultimately reach a point in this arrangement where I can make lines without fear. This is the real cure for the funk.

Other temporary and lesser funk cures include
1) giving in to society and relaxing fully and non-critically into some sort of trash (serious side effects)
2) opening pathways to let emotions in, cresting bodily (a process, a developing habit, probably not a lesser cure)
3) expending energy through physical exercise (solidly good).

(Emerging structures and habits occupy spaces of other ones: judgment, competition, repression. In moments of full occupation, it becomes apparent that judgment is a worry about being putrefied by one's own uncomfortable spots or by other peoples' difficulties that we hope to have surpassed, and that creative process envelops dirtiness in a loving embrace.)
