15-30 minutes a day creating something new

This is prolly a therapy practice or smthn and I don't know it lol BUT i think it's v refreshing and healing for the soul to spend 30 mins/day simply creating something from scratch. It can be anything, like: - A journal entry - Rough draft of a story you have rattling in your head - A silly doodle with no rhyme or reason - A random collage - Improv on the piano/guitar/instrument of choice - Embroidering on an old shirt you're trying to revive It's easy to get caught up in the gears of life and responsibility; getting into the small habit of creating something new is a good way to stay in touch with yourself and remember that you've got that spark in you <3

Art block

Keep in mind that you don’t have to create on a daily basis, in an artist life, we have other stuff to do, from work to keeping our social life with our friends. However, don’t feel bad if you’re enable to create for the moment, it might be just an art block that you will overcome with time. Nevertheless, when you have a free time for yourself, try to just do it for 5 minutes, 5 minutes is nothing right ? So why not just do it even if it’s just one word / one sentence, it’s okay, 1% is better than 0%. Slowly but surely you will get back on track ! 💪🏽

i know not a lot of creatives want to hear this but

you gotta work on something everyday. even if you don’t think you’ll ever reveal it to the public. even if it’s not in the medium you typically work in (if you paint, do a pencil drawing or write a poem…if you sculpt try making an abstract pastel drawing…if you write essays try writing a song…so on and so forth). even if it’s !not good! that’s fine. even if you work on a little bit each day that’s okay. you’re still stimulating your brain and when the block is over your mind with be warmed up and ready. this is def something i’ve struggled with recently but making an effort to keep myself active creatively has helped a ton.

Being a little bit gross

Stop thinking about germs so much. Touch the subway pole. Touch your mouth after (by accident). Boost your immune system. Live forever.

“Feet up time”

You don’t need a nap but you still need to lay for a bit. That’s feet up time.
