ZEN AND THE ART OF YOUTUBE [Finding Joy In The Journey]

Zen and the art of YouTube means finding joy in the journey of creation. Sometimes the best way to meditate is to create!

I keep running into things like "Zen in the Art of Archery" by Eugen Herrigel, "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Robert M. Pirsig, and most recently, a video called "Zen and the Art of Making Coffee" by Matt D'Avella. This idea of being able to find "Zen" in an act or process that occurs somewhere in your life fascinated me so I began to wonder, what do I do that helps me find mindfulness?

This is where creating videos for YouTube comes in. People often ask why I don't make videos on YouTube about my career as a music producer. The short answer is because I already do that for 50+ hours per week. I needed a creative outlet that I hadn't already turned into my career.

Where do you find your zen? Is your creative passion the thing that gives you mindfulness?

[Daibutsumusic]

YES!!! EXACTLY THIS! This is me...I also love doing research, figuring out what can give me the output I wanted. The art of creating. You HAVE to enjoy the process... It shines through with everything you create! Well said, and it needs to be said everyday. I'll be sharing this with everyone I work with. I think this will help them, as well as help them understand me better too. Thank you thank you thank you. Someone who actually understands!!

Never take down these older videos, they are definitely still relevant.
Loved this bud, pretty inspiring.

Wow love the message of this video. It's something I am trying to figure out myself as I balance enjoying the creative process, learning, and trying to get traction on YouTube. 💯

[eddiemartinez]

Great job explaining your point in a simple way. I found your channel today and I was immediately hooked. I have a Sony A6000 and I found your videos very informative.

[KahimoandRachel]

[mrswitz]

Made it here from one of your tutorial videos. Great video and very inspirational words. I often find myself getting caught up in the analytics of it all, but I have to remind myself it’s about finding joy in it. Thank you for this one, and great work!

[JakeRoman]

Great video man! Well filmed, conceptualized, and executed. I also love the color grading you've gone with. Keep up the awesome work and the positivity! Peace, JR.

but that coffee going to have to say that coffee fuels my creative passion 😂😂😂

[theadventureteacher]

This really resonates with me. I wanted to start my channel to be something that I got to make into a creative archive for my life. But I've been feeling (self imposed anyway) pressure to grow my channel and catering to making things to get subscribers, not just make videos that I enjoy making/watching.

[reevavillanueva]

I'm digging in for good youtubers that have great editing and cinematography that aren't being noticed yet. Keep doing what you're doing mate I hope your channel grows and hit that silver play button. Definitely worth subscribing. Cheers Dunna!

[AbdullahShaikhASTEC]

Can you make a video on how you use audition for audio editing please

[RodrigoGarciactg]

Dope Man! I just started making youtube videos on my CrossFit workouts! Your channel has helped me man! Thanks,

[maconSTUFF]

You rock man... think I needed this video today... feel like I've lost my Zen... I find myself dreaming too much about what my channel could be, instead of just digging in and making it what I want it to be. My inspiration, motivation and creativity comes in waves, but the tide has been out for a while now... I am passionate about so many things... making, music, photography, videography etc... and not getting around to all of them gets me down... These are wise words man, I think this is exactly my problem... my focus has shifted from the process to the end product... Thanx for sharing and keep up the good work, I predict good things for the future of your channel... PS... maybe we can do a music collaboration some time... :-)

[thetonster]

Loved hearing your thoughts. First time watching/hearing from you. Found you from a comment you made on one of Sean Tucker's videos. One new sub!

[farhad]

Awesome video, helped me a lot!
You deserve more man❤️

[AdventureSingh]

Love this! Could you please make a video about your color profile and color grading?
