How do you rekindle your passion?

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright return to the Ghibliverse to react to Kiki’s Delivery Service. Or as Jonathan calls it, How Kiki Got Her Broom Back! They talk about Kiki losing her ability and passion to fly and how it relates to making work out of our hobbies and interests. Jonathan talks about the psychology of losing your passion and getting over self-doubt. Alan can relate to Kiki and opens up about his struggle to pursue filmmaking professionally. As usual, they are a little confused by the plot and universe, but they appreciate Studio Ghibli's special brand of whimsy.

I'm a visual arts student. And I'm very much working through doing this exact thing for myself right now. It can be quite terrifying to fall out of love with something thats such a core part of your identity. it makes you question everything about yourself. It's been tough not self victimizing and breaking out of the depressive cycles that this kind of situation brings. What I'm trying to do right now is understand the root of the insecurities and take small steps towards doing that. for instance, I'm taking an Improv class and a vocal techniques class to work on my social skills so i can collaborate with others better and improve self confidence. I'm planning out smaller art projects just for myself that can renew my passion and make art fun again. It's a tricky thing to do and requires lots of reflection and effort but I do feel happier even having just started the process of keeping myself accountable to... myself essentially.

How do you get out of a slump? I have some experience with this. At the age of 21, now I'm 31, I decided to start playing piano and discovered that I was really good at it. I loved loved learning pieces that made me feel like I've climbed a mountain top and I never felt like that ever before. That was for the first couple of years and then I decided I will try to make this a profession for myself, to be a piano teacher. I didn't get very far. I started studying for the exams and felt immense pressure to perform. And to be a teacher you really need to be credentialed and to know what you're doing when teaching so it's quite necessary. And after that I felt like giving up, and I did. I didn't know what to do with myself for years. I played piano here and there but I never enjoyed playing again even just for myself, until recently. Going through different career choices and trying out different jobs I've realized there isn't much else I really should be doing, or want to do other than be a piano teacher. I am good at it and I know I am. My problem was a severe lack of trust in myself and an inability to deal with uncertainty in general. Thats why I've always gone with the safe options in life because of fear and avoiding taking risk or responsibility. My decision to learn the piano at 21 was my first serious attempt to stand up for myself to give myself the gift of enjoying whats worth living for in life. It also helped me to deal with my trauma and emotional problems by dedicating myself so many hours to learning the piano and learning to love music, and I would like to share that with others who may also be hurting inside by teaching them to play music in the same way that when I was younger I sought out teachers to learn from to find a way to deal with my pain. It honestly makes me really emotional and cry thinking about that, that I could get to share with others how I've dealt with my pain and that I might be able to help others in the same way. I got my groove back with my love for piano because I feel much more myself when I'm sitting down playing and learning, and that I recognize how much I ignored that part of myself for the past 8 years or so. Now I have more faith in myself that I am able to get through the piano examinations, that I am more capable of dealing with what I was afraid of confronting than I once imagined. It's absolutely miserable to live life through fear and avoidance, and I would rather work towards something thats meaningful even if its scary rather than to fear to experience what I might be able to accomplish and to share with others.
