Summary

This quote compares slumps, whether in performance, creativity, or motivation, to a soft bed. It suggests that getting into a slump is effortless and can happen without much effort or resistance. However, getting out of a slump is depicted as challenging and difficult, symbolically implying that breaking free from a slump requires significant effort and determination. It emphasizes the notion that once we fall into a slump, it becomes more comfortable and tempting to stay in it, making it even harder to regain momentum or overcome the barriers holding us back.
