Rufus Ruffles Your Feathers

Rufus is a Liar

Michelle

Have you ever just been in a negativity funk? 

When even the good things someone does in your life seem to have ulterior motives and not actually be so good?

That's Rufus!

He is attempting to sow seeds of division and displeasure to keep you in the dumps and flustered, and then, to top it all off? He ADDS to the negativity! As if his undercutting whispers about everything you do and everything someone else is doing for you weren't enough, he also throws people in the way that make those dreaded comments. Artists know the ones I am talking about − things like having a "real job."

Stack on top of those stress and the growing general displeasure in daily life, Rufus has you backed into a corner that you almost feel justified being in, right?

Why is that though?

Because Rufus is also acting like he is your "friend," but he is just being an echo chamber. Reverberating the justifications for your negative feelings that he planted in your mind to begin with. It's a loop that keeps your feathers ruffled and your nerves frayed. You'll find yourself stuck in a rut in the studio or not even wanting to enter the door. And your life outside the studio? Goodness...does Rufus aim to make a mess anyway he can.

The frustration, the overwhelm, the disconnection, and everything else that comes as a consequence of the negativity will start to eat you alive. Feathers are meant to help shield the delicate skin underneath. Don't let Rufus make gaps in your defense.

Tell him to buzz off and keep his hands out of your feathers. They don't need to be ruffled. You're working on preening your feathers to become the best you can be. No time for his messes or his planted negativity.
