#35 - Gently Pushing Through Creative Block22. Jan.24 Min.

Hi! I’m Becky, a former shop owner & independent artist, currently reclaiming my creativity & living a slow, nerdy life. I love sharing small businesses, chatting about crafts and hollerin’ about books.

Come hangout in this silly, cat-photo-filled, creative space!

Be Gentle with Yourself

* Get at least eight hours of sleep!

* I cannot stress to you how important sleep is. Check out any episode of Life Kit about sleep.

* Get a physical and ask about regular bloodwork

* Sometimes there’s a physical reason you’ve got brain fog. I have to take vitamin d supplements in the winter and I can tell when I need them!

* Think about therapy or bring it up to your therapist.

* Talk therapy on a regular basis is amazing! Sometimes just getting it out at being validated can open a new door for you.

* No negative self talk.

* Don’t be the villain in your own story. It’s so easy to spiral, but please be gentle with yourself.
