Any other recovering people-pleasers out there? I have been having a block with abstract painting because I start out loving it - and then I get to a point where I feel like I have to “fix” it so other people will hopefully like it. Guess what? That’s not really the best way to make art 😂🤦🏻♀️ I have struggled having fun painting for the past several months (for some big reasons - but still…). But over the past week I’ve just been trying to be present when I paint - and it works. I’ve had the BEST time! It’s challenging to tap into the creativity when your head is full of heavy things - or insecurities. I think we can all benefit from trying to be more “in the moment” our lives. Feel the sun, hear the birds, literally stop and smell the roses. I hope you can find some joy this week, friends! 💛
(Also so thankful for the and for the great episode and reminder this week!)
