DEAR FUTURE SELF…

DEAR FUTURE SELF:

I know you're feeling busy & overwhelmed BUT THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR THE HEALTH OF YOUR ART

Get back into the sketchbook for more play & experiments. It helps you rebuild trust in the process & release that pressure of perfection you picked up again.

> Building trust in yourself

> Building faith in the process, despite the chaos

> Faith that answers & resources will be provided as needed

> Trust that you will be capable to do what is needed

AND PLAY!

To release pressure

To allow joy

To release burdens of perfection

To allow curiosity

To release fear

To allow fun...for the sake of fun

and trust that there IS purpose in that too

•

Connect back to your curiosity & joy!

Release the shoulds & musts for some playful what ifs & why nots

How?

1) Give yourself a daily dose of connecting with your Muse purely for the fun of connecting. To embrace imperfection & the chaos of life

> In a way that is simple & easy (so there is no excuses NOT to do it & you don't get overwhelmed)

> In a way that pushes you beyond your usual routine (so you expand your comfort zone & exercise your creative muscles)

> In a way that supports you to pause & notice connections & ideas around you (so you see the abundance of resources & inspiration you already have)

eg. Like sketchbook doodling....or taking a photo a day, to a theme or as a gratitude exercise...

•

2) Give yourself the mindset & space to cultivate the above into a daily habit & way of life.

> In a way that weaves in your busy schedule & life duties (so you learn how to find YOUR flavour of creative living)

> In a way that uses resources & tools you already have around you (so you see your life & world in new creative ways)

> In a way that practices facing your fears & doubts & patterns of sabotage (so you gain more confidence & clarity around how you can rise above your Resistance & do the work you are called to do in the world)

eg. Like writing a haiku everyday about your day in your journal... or do a meditation where you face your fears & do a sketch portrait of your fear monster...

p.s You're doing amazing. Even while in lockdown -- you're an amazing Muse Mama
