I want to strike a balance between consuming and creating. I think that's why we might feel so aimless sometimes. I told myself I'd create one thing a day, even if it's shitty. A doodle, product concept, song lyric, a beat, an animation, etc. Literally anything. I just need to stop consuming nonstop and actually do something with the info I process. will report back

i want to create more things!
every day i wake up and i just consume consume consume, but then sometimes i end up drawing something or i do music stuff and my day gets a whole lot better! i personally get a lot of fulfillment and fun out of creating things. heck even making up a username for this app felt rewarding, it can be small things too.
so planning said creative activities is the way to go! or at least saying: tomorrow i will do this or that creative activity. i think that's a good idea.

a lot of hobbies pushed to us are surrounded by consumption. we watch shows, movies. consume albums, buy clothes and items, etc. not that there's anything inherently wrong with consuming, but consumption without creation breeds dullness.
we all have creativity within us. it gets beaten out when there are expections to commoditize your creativity. you feel the need to be the best, to be perfect in the first shot at something.
creation without the expectation of consumption is how we push back. i write poetry, even if it sucks. i drew a pig going to bed in a room full of disproportinately sized furniture because i felt like it. i'm looking to start dancing again.
the world has so much that's yet to be made, and we're blessed with the ability to contribute to that body of art.

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

skip the skillshare subscription or masterclass. I think it's called LinkedIn learning now but a lot of public library cards give you free access to all the courses. web dev, sound production, animation, you name it. bon apetit hun

Just sitting and exploring where my attention goes without judgement… coming back to my breath if I’m lost in thought. Noticing if I’m feeling antsy without judging or resisting it. One of my favorite ways to meditate
